Funeral of the Adivasi leader held at his native village Adavi Venkannagudem
Tributes poured in for veteran CPI (M) leader and former Bhadrachalam MLA Kunja Bojji, who died of prolonged illness in Bhadrachalam on Monday. The funeral of the nonagenarian Adivasi leader was held at his native village Adavi Venkannagudem in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh’s East Godavari district on Tuesday. A host of senior CPI (M) leaders from both the Telugu States including the Telangana State committee secretary Tammineni Veerabhadram were among those who attended Mr Bojji's funeral, party sources said. Meanwhile, glowing tributes were paid to Mr Bojji at a condolence meeting held at Sundarrayya Bhavan in Khammam on Tuesday.
The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
