Close Call For Telangana Ministers As Tree Branch Falls During Adilabad Visit
Adilabad/Hyderabad, June 26 (IND Today News): Telangana Ministers Jupalli Krishna Rao and Vivek Venkatswamy had a narrow escape on Thursday during their official visit to Adilabad district, when a large tree branch suddenly broke and fell near them while they were addressing the media.
The incident occurred at Gandhi Park, shortly after the ministers paid floral tributes at the statue of Mahatma Gandhi. As they interacted with reporters, a tree branch snapped and crashed to the ground just a few feet away from the media gathering and delegation.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the ministers were immediately moved to a safer spot by security personnel. Officials on the scene confirmed that a major accident was narrowly averted, and credited the swift response of the security team in ensuring everyone’s safety.
Public Safety Concerns Raised
The incident has sparked concern over public safety and tree maintenance in crowded public spaces. Locals and opposition leaders have urged the municipal authorities to conduct a thorough assessment of trees in parks and public areas, especially during the monsoon season, when weakened branches pose a greater risk.
The ministers continued their scheduled tour after the brief interruption and reviewed development works in various parts of the district. They also interacted with local residents to understand civic issues and promised faster implementation of welfare programs.
