Amaravati: Responding to a letter of TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu, the Indian Embassy, Manila, Philippines, informed that necessary steps are being taken to send the mortal remains of the two medical students to their families in Anantapur district in AP.
The Embassy responded to a plea made by Naidu to External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar. The Embassy officials told Naidu that procedures like embalming of the bodies are taken up. They have talked to the local officials in Cebu city and also to the family members of the deceased. In their reply on Twitter, the Embassy tagged Naidu and Jaishankar.
