HYDERABAD: An RTC bus was stranded in heavy flood water near Kothagudem on Tuesday night for over two hours with 30 passengers who were eventually rescued. Multiple other RTC buses were stranded across the city, where passengers had to step out and travel on foot. 

“The bus was stranded in flood water in the middle of Kothagudem bridge. We called the DRF as well as the police for help.
