Boatman saves lives of 200 kids, gets killed
Khammam (AP): A boatman in Bhadrachalam division of the Godavari lost his life when he got electrocuted after he saved 200 school children and was on his way to rescue some more.

Edukondalu, the boatman, went to a school in his boat to rescue 200 children trapped in Sasi Vihar, a private school, due to flash floods. He rescued all of them and as he went in search of other stranded people, he came into contact with a live power cable and got electrocuted. His body was found on Friday.

Edukondalu supported his aged parents, wife and two children and the poor family is now shattered.
