Hyderabad, April 19 -- The Telangana government has borne the full medical costs of the six-year-old boy who had lost his left leg after a part of the Sammakka Saralamma temple collapsed on him, Revenue and Housing Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy said on Sunday, April 19.

The accident had occurred on March 25, when Siddaboina Yuvan, the son of Siddaboina Rana Ramesh, the chief priest, was playing near the newly-constructed structures after returning from school, while his parents were performing their divine duties at the temple.

This resulted in Yuvan's left leg being amputated and his right leg needing an implant. The contractor of the temple works was reportedly Minister Srinivasa Reddy's man.
