A mentally ill woman from Uttar Pradesh was reunited with her family after several years in the temple town of Bhadrachalam on Friday.
The elderly woman, who had gone missing from her home in Uttar Pradesh’s Banda district around two decades ago due to suspected mental health disorder, was found wandering on the streets of Bhadrachalam by some local residents nearly one-and-a-half year ago.
Alerted by them, the Khammam-based Annam Seva Foundation chairman and para-legal volunteer Annam Srinivasa Rao shifted her to the shelter home for destitute persons in Khammam in December 2019.

The town-based social worker and para-legal volunteer Annam Srinivasa Rao has been selected for Global Peace Prize-2021 instituted by Indore-based World Book of Star Records in recognition of his distinguished services to destitute and mentally-challenged persons.
The award will be presented to Mr Rao at the World Peace Conference slated to be held in Srinagar on April 18, according to sources in the town-based Annam Seva Foundation, an NGO.
Mr Rao, the founder of the Annam Seva Foundation, has received wide appreciation from various quarters for his consistent acts of compassion, including shifting road accident victims to hospitals and performing the last rites of COVID-19 victims in compliance with safety norms.
