Chevella road accident turns tragic for Tandur family — three sisters killed, another young woman among victims
Hyderabad: Death literally chased three sisters from Tandur, who lost their lives in the bus mishap on the Hyderabad-Bijapur National Highway on Monday. E Nandini, 22, and her two sisters, Saipriya, 18, and Thanusha, 20, all students of Veeranari Chakali Ilamma women’s university in Koti, hitherto made their parents proud, excelling in academics, but suddenly left them in eternal pain of losing the beloved.
The siblings had travelled to their native Tandur to attend a relative’s wedding. Initially, their father, Yellaiah Goud, had refused permission for them to visit home, but the girls persuaded their mother and managed to attend the function. While returning to Hyderabad in the early hours, they missed their train, prompting their father to drop them at the bus stand and help them board the ill-fated RTC bus.
“I told them not to come, I repeatedly told them not to come,” sobbed Yellaiah, unable to hold back his tears. “They spoke to my wife and convinced her. I put them on the bus around 5 am. God took away all three beloved at one go.” Relatives and college friends were left devastated by the news. “They were known for their discipline and brilliance,” said their aunt. Friends recalled that Nandini had been hurrying back to appear for her internal exams that day.
College principal Loka Pavani said Saipriya was a third-year student of Mathematics, Statistics and Data Science (MSDS), while Nandini was pursuing her first year of BCom (Honours). Their elder sister, Thanusha, was studying in the third year of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science (MPCS).
“It is with deep sorrow that we inform you about the passing of three of our students in the tragic RTC bus–lorry accident near Chevella. We pray that God gives their family the strength to bear this unbearable loss,” the principal said in a statement.
