Mortal remains of Telangana migrant being transported in ambulance after arriving from Uzbekistan.
Hyderabad: After nearly a month of waiting, the mortal remains of Sanga Suresh, a 33-year-old migrant worker from Telangana, finally reached his native village Monday night, August 18.
Suresh, from Peda Kothuru Munyala in Dasturabad Mandal, Nirmal district, had travelled to Tashkent on a tourist visa in July in search of employment. On July 21, just four days after starting work at a hotel, he collapsed and died of a heart attack while being taken to hospital.
