Jetty Harika, a 25-year-old veterinarian from Tenali, recently lost her life in a road accident in Oklahoma, USA. Harika had been pursuing postgraduate studies in veterinary medicine for the last one and a half years.

Her grieving family, including her father Jetty Srinivasa Rao, an Excise officer, and mother Nagamani, are now waiting for the Indian Embassy to bring back her body. They have requested the government’s urgent help in shifting Harika’s body to Tenali for her last rites.
