Hyderabad: CM KCR plays Good Samaritan

Hyderabad: In an appreciative gesture, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao has come to the rescue of a senior citizen with disability. The CM gave a patient hearing to the pathetic plight of the physical-challenged person and solved his problem in a most humane way.

While the CM was returning from a private programme from Toli Chowki, he found an aged disabled person with a memorandum in his hand. The CM stopped his convoy, got off from his car, went to the person and personally enquired about his problem. The person introduced himself as Mohammed Salim.

Salim informed KCR that he was a driver and for the past nine years has been suffering from ailments and illness. The old man said he got his leg fractured after a fall from building. He said his son's health is also not good and that he has no house of his own. He sought some help from the CM.

The CM responded immediately and instructed Hyderabad Collector Shwetha Mohanty to release disabled pension to Salim and allot a two-bed room house. The Collector went to Salim's house in Toli Chowki and made inquiry.

Since Salim had a disabled certificate, the Collector sanctioned pension instantly. A double bedroom house was sanctioned to Salim at Jiyaguda.

The Collector promised that medical expenses will also be borne by the government for Salim's treatment and his son will be provided financial assistance from the CMRF, the Collector announced.
