Sai Krishna’s parents urged KTR for financial assistance, as he had no insurance. While giving them an assurance that they would be helped in every manner, KTR requested special secretary in the CMO Rajasekhar Reddy to facilitate the travel of the family members to the US.
KTR also spoke to US consul general in Hyderabad, Katherine Hadda, about facilitating their travel. KTR said the state government would bear their travel expenditure and also provide them financial assistance.
The state government has already written to the Consulate General of India, Chicago, to grant visas for Poosa Mounika, sister of Sai Krishna and Poosa Shivanand, cousin of Sai Krishna for their visit to the US. Parents of the victim already have visas. The General Administration Department of the government has also urged the CGI, Chicago, to extend financial assistance to the victim under the Indian community welfare fund.
