HYDERABAD: A Alivelu, a GHMC sanitation worker, donated `10,000 to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund (CMRF) on Tuesday. She handed over the cheque to IT Minister KT Rama Rao at Pragathi Bhavan. When he offered her any help, if need be, she politely refused.
Alivelu’s husband Srisailam works as a daily-wage labourer at a vegetable market. KTR later tweeted: “Received a tweet couple of days ago from a GHMC worker called Alivelu saying she wants to contribute one month’s salary to CMRF. Intrigued, asked @KTRoffice to arrange a meeting. She came in today with the cheque & insisted that I accept it. Didn’t want anything from my side”. (sic)
