Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh battled the fury of continued torrential rains and surging floodwaters Saturday, which claimed 194 lives and indundated vast swathes of land, rendering lakhs of people homeless.

Rescue efforts were intensified, with troops backed by Indian Air Force helicopters shifting marooned people in both states to safer areas.

While 161 people perished in the heavy rains that battered 15 districts of Karnataka, 33 people were killed in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, where five districts were hit by flash floods. The death count in both states is likely to go up as many flood-hit areas are yet to be accessed in Andhra Pradesh and between 11 and 21 persons are feared buried under mounds following a landslide in a hillock at Kadawada village in Uttara Kannada, where two bodies have been recovered, officials said.

In some good news for Andhra Pradesh, the situation in worst-hit Kurnool, Krishna and Mahboobnagar districts showed signs of easing, with the water level in flooded areas receding and discharge of water from dams slowing down. But over 60 villages in the Krishna Lanka (island) that abut the river Krishna on either side in Krishna and Guntur districts are in danger of getting inundated.
