Warangal DMO K. Surekha dies in road accident

A lorry collided with the car in which the 43-year-old District Marketing Officer was present

Warangal's District Marketing Officer, K. Surekha, met with a fatal road accident on August 16, 2026, near the Tadwai-Pasra stretch in Mulugu district. A lorry collided with her car, causing severe damage. Surekha and another individual, Chinta Vijayababu who was driving, were pronounced dead at the scene. This latest tragedy follows a string of losses in her family, including the death of her 15-year-old son Sukrith in a road accident two years ago and her husband Kiran who passed away from illness four months ago.

She had previously worked as an Agricultural Market Officer in Mahabubabad district. Colleagues remember her as a dedicated officer, and officials from the Agriculture and Marketing departments have expressed their grief over her untimely demise. The police have registered a case following a complaint by Surekha's sister, K. Harika, and a further investigation is currently underway.
