Telangana IT Minister K T Rama Rao today extended help to a tiny girl of Andhra Pradesh for an eye surgery, and earned encomiums on Twitter.
A person from Andhra Pradesh who could not afford an eye surgery for a small girl appealed to the minister for help through Twitter. He requested the minister to give a letter to L V Prasad Eye Hospital asking it to conduct the surgery for free. Since such a hospital was not there in AP, Arogyasri was not available in Telangana, and he was not able to meet the minister personally, he chose Twitter to urge the minister, he said.
KTR swiftly responded saying that the girl was quite beautiful and offering to provide help for her surgery.
"Our officials from the CMO will make arrangements for the surgery either at the L V Prasad Eye Institute or at the Sarojini Devi Eye Hospital," the minister promised.
A large number of netizens took to social media praising KTR for his gesture.
