Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy narrowly escaped danger on Saturday while en route to Nagar Kurnool district for an awareness conference on the Bhoo Bharati Act–2025. He was traveling in a helicopter along with Member of Parliament Mallu Ravi and Sampath Kumar.
As the helicopter was attempting to land within the premises of the District Collectorate, a bullet was fired as a signal. The fired round struck dry grass on the ground, causing a fire to break out. Police personnel and fire services immediately responded and extinguished the flames.
As a result, Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy, along with the accompanying Congress leaders, avoided harm. All those present breathed a sigh of relief following the incident.
