According to villagers, a farmer, Korandla Pratap (45), a native of Maddiryala, was infected by the coronavirus 15 days ago. He breathed his last while undergoing treatment in a private hospital in Karimnagar on Monday evening. His wife and two children were also infected with the virus and were in isolation. Due to fear of contracting the diseases, no relative has come forward to perform the funeral of Pratap.

Moved by the incident, Sandya Rani along with her team rushed to the village and made all arrangements for final rites. She, by wearing a PPE kit, helped her followers to place the dead body in the tractor. Going a step ahead, she drove the tractor down to the graveyard where the final rites of Pratap were performed by following all rituals.
