A residential property was severely damaged in a fire, resulting in an estimated loss of approximately ₹15–20 lakh. The incident caused extensive damage to the house and household belongings.

Following the incident, Mr. N. Suresh Reddy visited the affected family and assessed the extent of the damage. After understanding the family’s circumstances and the estimated cost of reconstruction, he assured them of financial assistance towards rebuilding the house.

The estimated reconstruction cost was approximately ₹5 lakh. In accordance with the commitment made during the visit, ₹5,00,000 was provided within 24 hours to support the reconstruction of the damaged residence.

The assistance will enable the family to commence the rebuilding work and restore their residence following the fire incident.
