There was a huge sound like a blast, and within no time our houses were flooded,” a tribal villager said.

He said the cloudburst occurred around 0300 hours on Monday. “Floods gushed into the village, and we ran away with our children from the houses towards upper areas,” the villager said.

Police rushed to the spot and reviewed the situation, officials added, confirming there was no loss of anything.

A huge mudslide and debris were deposited on the road, which were later cleared by the men and machinery of the Public Works Department, officials said. (Agencies)
