In a tragic incident, the Special Deputy Collector (Handri Neeva Sujala Sravanthi Project - Phase-II), S.

According to the Sambepalle police, the senior official was on her way to Rayachoti from a project site at Piler to attend Monday’s public grievance in Rayachoti, when the mishap occurred. Ms. Ramadevi was trapped inside the car following the mishap, which left the vehicle in mangled steel.
Some villagers and farmers from the fields rushed to the spot and pulled out the official by deploying farm tools. However, she was declared brought dead at the Government Hospital in Rayachoti. Two of her four subordinates accompanying her were critically injured and were under treatment in Rayachoti Hospital. Two other persons injured were inmates of the other car.
