Hyderabad, Feb 23 (IANS) – Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLA G. Lasya Nanditha died in a road accident near Hyderabad early Friday morning. She was 33. The accident occurred when the car she was travelling in hit a road divider on the Outer Ring Road (ORR) near Patancheru. The MLA’s driver was injured in the crash.

Lasya Nanditha was elected from the Secunderabad Cantonment constituency in the recent elections. Her father and five-time MLA from Secunderabad constituency, G.

The untimely demise of Lasya Nanditha has shaken the political circles in Telangana. Her commitment to public service and the tragic circumstances of her death have left the constituency in shock.

The details of the funeral and the future plans of the BRS for the Secunderabad Cantonment constituency are yet to be announced. The road safety measures on the Outer Ring Road near Patancheru are also under scrutiny following this unfortunate incident.

The loss of G. Lasya Nanditha is a tragic reminder of the dangers that come with public service, and the impact of road accidents on the lives of individuals and their families. The void left by her sudden demise will be felt deeply in the political landscape of Telangana.
