Telangana News | Son Swept Away, Telangana Mother Waits For 30 Hours. Then A Dramatic Rescue

In the flood-hit Rajanna Sircilla district of Telangana, the heart-wrenching anguish of a mother became a powerful symbol of the flood's human toll. For 30 gruelling hours, Lakshmi waited for her son, Jangam Swamy, who was trapped in the swirling floodwaters. "I fall at your feet. Please save my son. It's been 30 hours," she pleaded. Five people had got stranded at Upper Manair and repeated attempts by rescue helicopters were thwarted by adverse weather. "What use are elections and leaders if they can't come to the rescue of my son? You dare not try to silence me. I want you to try again and save my son," Lakshmi cried, her anguish turning into anger with the endless wait.
