Mysuru: “The search for my daughter Manjula whose life was lost during the landslide and floods on Aug.17 at Jodupala where she was studying in my sister Gowramma’s house is still going on. I live in a tribal area and on that fateful day even after I came to know of the tragedy, I was not able to reach the place. It was only four days later that we were able to go there only to find that my sister and other members of the family had all died,” recalled Somaiah, father of the flood victim Manjula from Kodagu.
He was sharing his experience after releasing the book ‘Kathe Heluve Nanna – Kodagina Nonda Hrudayagalu… Midida Managalu’ written by journalist Ravi Pandavapura at the Rani Bahadur Auditorium here this morning and said that his daughter was a tenth standard student and he was still in search of her body.
