The deceased are identified as Safwan (16) and Sahala (10).
The rescue teams including personnel from NDRF, fire service and police brought out the body after four hours of rescue operation.

The heavy rain in the last two days has softened the soil of the hillock. An Auto-rickshaw, lorry and a bike too have buried under the soil.
It was said that caving in of the hillock continued even when the rescue operation was in progress, thus making the rescue operation difficult.
District-in-Charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojary who visited the spot said two houses have been completely damaged and inmates of 14 houses that are facing the problem in the vicinity will be shifted to safer locations.
