It was an unexpected blessing in the form of the twins, daughters, that has now given Raju and Bhagyalakshmi of the Port City a new hope in life.

“We are so happy and blessed. It’s all God’s grace,” said a beaming Bhagyalakshmi.

Her family was pushed into gloom as they lost their two daughters in the boat mishap in the Godavari on September 15, 2019. Appala Raju’s mother was also killed in the accident when she was leading her granddaughters to Lord Rama”s temple in Bhadrachalam in neighboring Telangana in the ill-fated boat.

Bhagyalakshmi and her husband, an employee in a glass manufacturing unit, approached a fertility center in the city last year for children, but the COVID-19 pandemic put paid their efforts. But luck smiled on them this year as the efforts fructified and twin daughters delivered through the IVF process, precisely on September 15, 2021.
