East Godavari (Andhra Pradesh) [India], July 22 (ANI): Andhra Pradesh police on Wednesday rescued a family, who confined themselves to a tent house for almost 15 months in Andhra Pradesh's Kadali village in fear of getting infected by COVID-19.
According to Kadali village sarpanch Choppala Gurunath, Ruthamma (50), Kanthamani (32), and Rani (30) locked themselves almost 15 months ago when one of their neighbour died due to COVID-19.
The matter came to light when a village volunteer went to get their thumb impression for allowing a housing plot for them under a government scheme. The volunteer informed the matter to village sarpanch and others.
