Hyderabad: Little Flower Junior College Alumni group, which consists of designers like Divya Reddy, Tollywood singer Geetha Madhuri, academicians based in the United States and India, helped at least 470 families during the second wave. The team has been assisting Covid-hit families by providing hospital expenses, arranging beds, medical supplies and food.
Varun J Vincent, a digital financial services expert came to India from the United States to support his family and later other Covid-19 victims. He said ,”During the period of my family’s struggle in April when we were scrambling to find an ICU bed for my dad, the response I received from one WhatsApp group in particular was so overwhelming that I found hope when there was none. This WhatsApp group was started by my teacher from Little Flower Junior College (LFJC), M Bala Reddy who currently lives in Georgia, Atlanta. It connected all the alumni from the junior college. An alumni network I completely lost touch with that came together with the sole focus of saving lives,”
M Bala Reddy former teacher of LFJC said, “While everyone in our LFJC WhatsApp group is helping each other in some way, few members have stepped up to a whole new level by sacrificing their own sleep and health to help strangers,”
Some of the many more such heroes from LFJC who continue to support and help with ground operations and other capacities include Aditya Reddy Varakantam, Vamsi Krishna Meruva, Anand Cherupally, Rakesh Mahankali, Krishnam, Raghuvamshi Surikuchi, and Harsha Kim.

His curiosity for peeking behind the curtain triumphed over the criminal agenda of many scamsters in the highest political and corporate circles, making way for breaking stories such as Panama Papers Scam, Telgi Stamp Paper Scam, and many others. His versatility in reporting extended to red corridors of left-wing extremism where the lives of security forces and the locals in Maoist-affected areas were key points of investigation. His knack for detail provided crucial evidence of involvement from overseas in terrorist bombings in Hyderabad.
