Four children drowned as storm batters Bay of Bengal

KUALA LUMPUR: Sixty patrons tested positive for drugs during a police raid on a nightclub along Jalan Sultan Ismail in the early hours of Saturday.

RESCUE teams said they had recovered four drowned children killed in a flash flood, with four other people missing, after torrential rains from a powerful but slow-moving storm now heading towards India.Indian weather officials said there was a “possibility” that the deep depression over the southwest Bay of Bengal could develop into a cyclonic storm.

Cyclones are a regular and deadly menace in the region. Having skirted the coast of Sri Lanka, it was now moving north towards India’s southern Tamil Nadu state. The India Meteorological Department said it was expected to hit India’s southern Tamil Nadu and Puducherry coastline tomorrow morning as a “deep depression” with winds “gusting up to 70kph”.Sri Lanka’s Disaster Management Centre said some 276,000 people were seeking temporary shelter in public buildings after their homes were swamped.

The disaster centre said search teams were still looking for two missing children and two men, who were also swept away by flash floods while on tractor and trailer. — AFP
