Bidar: In a heartwarming gesture following a tragic incident that claimed the lives of two sisters, Aurad MLA Prabhu Chavan has announced that he will take responsibility for the future of the three surviving daughters of the affected family in Shembelli village of Bidar district.
The decision came after the legislator visited the family, which has been struggling emotionally and financially since the tragedy.
The incident occurred on June 7 when six members of the family allegedly fell seriously ill after consuming mangoes. The victims, including mother Indumati and her five daughters, suffered severe vomiting and diarrhoea and were rushed for treatment.
As their condition worsened, they were shifted to a hospital in Hyderabad. However, two sisters, Bhavani (17) and Sandhyarani (14), succumbed to their illness on June 8 despite medical efforts. Another daughter, Vijayashree, continues to battle for her life and remains under treatment in a critical condition. A case regarding the incident has been registered at the Narayanaguda Police Station in Hyderabad.
Following widespread attention to the family’s plight, MLA Prabhu Chavan visited Shembelli village and met the grieving family members. During his visit, he offered condolences and announced that he would personally support the future of the remaining three daughters.
The MLA assured the family that he would bear the entire cost of the girls’ education and also take responsibility for their marriages. In addition, he promised that a new house would be constructed for the family through government assistance within the current year.
The announcement has drawn appreciation from local residents and social organizations, who described the move as a significant humanitarian gesture during a period of immense suffering for the family.
With the family still coping with the loss of two daughters and another child undergoing treatment, the support extended by the MLA is expected to provide much-needed relief and security. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the illness that led to the deaths.
