Khammam: Transport Minister Puvvada Ajay Kumar handed over cheques of Rs 5 lakh each to the bereaved families of a worker of Khammam Municipal Corporation (KMC) and two members of its Disaster Relief Force (DRF) towards ex-gratia on behalf of the KMC here on Sunday. A worker Ch Sandeep and DRF members P Venkatesh and B Pradeep, died recently in different accidents.
The Minister expressed his grief over the death of the KMC worker and DRF members. He handed over the cheques to Sandeep’s parents, Venkatesh’s mother Nagalakshmi and Pradeep’s wife Nagalakshmi. Later he interacted with them enquiring about their family conditions.
Venkatesh’s mother Nagalakshmi lamented that the family lost their livelihood due to the death of her younger son. In response, the minister instructed the Municipal Commissioner Adarsh Surabhi to offer an outsourcing job to her eldest son in KMC.
Pradeep’s wife Nagalakshmi grieved that she has a five-year-old daughter and lacks means to look after her. Shaken at her plight the minister ordered the commissioner to make arrangements for the child’s education along with an outsourcing job to the woman.
