Kushalnagar: Floods in Kodagu has brought unique reports of distress like this one from Kushalnagar where a cemetery was flooded when a pit was being dug to bury a dead body. Water, which started to spring from the pit, soon covered the entire cemetery and a sucking machine had to be used to draw out water. The body was finally buried.
The incident was reported from the Christian Cemetery at Kushalnagar yesterday. The cemetery, located near the bridge, was submerged due to heavy rain two weeks ago and the water receded about a week back. Yesterday afternoon, a family, who had lost their dear one, had come to the cemetery to prepare the ground for burial.
