Police make elaborate security arrangements for ‘nimajjanam’ in Krishna and W.G.
Two boys drowned in Nagarjuna Sagar Canal during the immersion of a Ganesh idol on Saturday. One body was retrieved and search is on for the second, the police said. They were identified as T. Eshwar Prasad (13) and K. Durga Rao (15), both natives of Inumalla village in Eepuru mandal. In another incident, a six-year-old girl died on Sunday after a cement pillar, to which the rope of a Ganesh pandal was tied, fell on her while she was playing.
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.
