Laxma Reddy visited the homes of Krishna Reddy and Bera Lachaiah at Sirke Colony in Naspur and expressed grief over the tragic deaths of the miner.

Laxma Reddy criticised the authorities of Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) over safety measures in coal mining operations. He alleged that the officials concerned were showing negligence in adopting the safest methods of mining coal. He requested them to take steps for preventing the recurrence of similar incidents in future.

On November 10, Bera Lachaiah (60), Krishna Reddy (57) G Satya Narayana Raju (32), and Rinka Chandrasekhar (32) were killed when a portion of the roof belonging to SRP-3 and 3A Incline collapsed on them. While Lachaiah is a native of Namnoor village in Hajipur mandal, the three are residents of different parts of Naspur mandal. The SCCL management has already extended statutory benefits to the kin of the victims and assured to provide a job to a family member of the four at the earliest.
