This highlights the role of local government officials in providing direct social welfare support to vulnerable families in need of medical assistance.
Telangana Roads and Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy extended financial assistance of ₹2 lakh for the medical treatment of a child born to a couple from Panigiri village in the erstwhile Nalgonda district.
Jampala Mahesh Kumar and Rajitha, both speech- and hearing-impaired, approached the Minister seeking help for their child, who was also born with speech and hearing disabilities. Doctors had reportedly told the family that appropriate treatment could offer the child a chance to develop speech, but the treatment would involve considerable expenditure.
