Mahabubnagar: Devarkadra MLA Ala Venkateshwar Reddy handed over a cheque for Rs 5 lakh to the family members of Pandu, a farmer who died accidentally due to electrical shock recently. The tragic incident took place while he was trying to fix some connections at his field. He came in contact with a live wire and died on the spot.
As Pandu's family is very poor and lost its sole breadwinner, the electricity department announced an ex gratia of Rs 5 lakh.
On Thursday, the electricity officials handed over the cheque to the family members of Pandu at a programme in Devarkadra. Zillah Parishad Chairman Swarna Sudhakar Reddy, Additional Collector Tejas Nandlala and others were present.
