The Hindu
The girls’ parents, both daily wagers, were electrocuted in a freak accident
A tweet to IT and Industries Minister KT Rama Rao on Monday brought the instantaneous reply that set the administration to act in real-time in extending the support to two young girls whose parents were electrocuted at Gandampally village in Bayyaram mandal of Mahabubabad district.
On Friday, Tirupathamma (32), mother of the children, suffered an electric shock while she was spreading a wet towel on the clothesline made up of GI wire, which accidentally came in contact with the live wire in their house. Her husband Anaparthy Upender (32) tried to rescue her, which resulted in both being electrocuted. While Tirupathamma died on the spot, Upender passed away while on the way to the nearby hospital leaving their two girls -- aged eight and 10 years, behind. The couple were daily wagers.
Responding to the tweet by this correspondent, Mr. Rao asked Mahabubabad District Collector K. Shashanka and the Department of Women and Child Welfare to take care of the kids. He tweeted: “Request @WCDTelangana and @Collector_MBD to take care of these two children.”
