CM YS Jagan Comes to Rescue of Dedicated Volunteer

Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has proved his generosity by coming to the rescue of a volunteer who has been working with dedication and extending his services to the people for the past four years despite his two damaged kidneys.

Jakkula Sombabu who is a dalit working as volunteer at the Secretariat 5 in the Ward 20 in Murali Nagar of the Kanuru Mandal met the Chief Minister along with his mother Venkamma and brothers Janardhan and Naveem at the felicitation programme of volunteers here on Friday and sought financial help to overcome the kidney ailment.

Moved by his condition, the Chief Minister ordered immediate financial help of Rs. 2 lakh to the family, besides a financial assistance of Rs. 10 lakh from the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund.  He also ordered the NTR District Collector S. Dilly Rao to sanction the monthly pension of Rs. 10,000 to Sombabu for undergoing dialysis at regular intervals.  

Assuring the family that the Government would bear the expenses needed for transplantation of his kidneys, the Chief Minister directed the officials to expedite the formalities of online registration for Sombabu’s kidney transplantation. 
The District Collector handed over Rs. 2 lakh cheque to the Sombabu family within an hour of the Chief Minister’s instructions. He said the other financial help as ordered by the Chief Minister would be fulfilled in the next few days.
Sombabu and his family members expressed their gratitude to the Chief Minister.
