Mangaluru, May 29: An elderly woman died after the compound wall behind her house collapsed due to incessant rain in Mangaluru on Tuesday.

Mohini (60), a resident of Udayanagar near KPT is the deceased lady. Due to heavy rain on Tuesday the compound wall behind her house was collapsed at around 11 am and Mohini was buried under the mud.

Mangaluru east police, fire personal and locals rushed to the spot and launched a rescue operation. After a long rescue operation, by the time Mohini was taken out of the mud she had already breathed her last.

As the road leading to Mohini's house was very narrow fire brigade vehicles and other four wheelers could not reach the spot. This effected the rescue operation that ended with the death of elderly lady, locals said.
