Tragedy In Mangaluru: 3 Dead, 3 Others Rescued After Landslide Buries House

A landslide triggered by heavy rains struck a tile-roof house in the Nagori area of Mangaluru early Wednesday morning. Six people were trapped beneath the debris. Emergency response teams successfully rescued three survivors - one man and two girls - who were immediately hospitalized. A woman and two young girls lost their lives and their bodies were later recovered from the rubble. The rescue operations have now concluded.  

The disaster struck a tile-roofed house located just behind the Kankanady Police Station in the Nagori area of BC Road. Heavy, continuous rainfall over the region caused a deadly landslide, crashing down onto the house.

At around 4:30 AM, a sudden, loud crash shook the neighborhood. One resident reported waking up in shock as a piece of a collapsing wall hit his head. The witness found their own back door completely jammed by rubble and immediately rushed to wake up others in the building.

The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) arrived on the scene by 5:00 AM. While they successfully pulled two children out alive, they tragically recovered the bodies of two deceased children and one woman. The woman's husband survived and was rushed to the hospital.
