APNRTS identified body

Andhra Pradesh Non-Resident Telugu Society (APNRTS), which is the nodal agency for matters related to NRIs and migrant workers, had said on Thursday that T Lokanandam from Srikakulam district and M Satyanarayana and M Eshwarudu from West Godavari district were identified among the deceased.

“As part of his return journey (to Kuwait), Lokanandam had gone to Hyderabad on 5 June, stayed there for four days and then reached Kuwait on 11 June,” Lokanadam’s brother-in-law Santha Rao said.

Lokanandam was the lone breadwinner of his family, and Sompeta villagers have reached out to Union Aviation Minister K Ram Mohan Naidu for help in repatriating his body.

The mortal remains of Lokanandam, Satyanarayana and Eshwarudu are expected to arrive in New Delhi by Friday afternoon, after which they would be despatched onward to Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada airports for further transit to their hometowns.
