Madikeri: Personnel of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), Fire and Emergency Services and the local people who are continuing rescue works, have rescued an elderly couple from the flood-hit and landslide place in Kodagu yesterday. The elderly couple identified as Palani and Shantha were trapped in labourers’ quarters at Kaandanakolli near Hemmatalu which was buried due to landslide since four days.
As there is no mobile phone network or any other means of communication, the elderly couple was unable to contact anyone and also the couple who were sick and hungry had lost all hopes of them surviving.
