A 60-year-old woman and her critically ill son were forced to take shelter at a local graveyard (Vaikunta Dhamam) in Vemulawada after their house owner allegedly asked them to vacate their rented accommodation, leaving them without shelter, on Thursday.

According to sources, the woman, a native of Kistampet village in Chandurthi mandal, had been living in a rented house in the temple town with her 38-year-old son for the past couple of months. Her son is reportedly suffering from a serious health condition.

As his health condition deteriorated, a local doctor referred him to a hospital in Sircilla on Thursday for better treatment.

Meanwhile, the landlord allegedly asked the mother and son to vacate the house. With nowhere else to go, the woman reportedly took shelter at the Vaikunta Dhamam premises along with her ailing son on Friday morning.

On learning about their situation, Vemulawada Municipal Chairman Pulkam Raju visited the duo and arranged for their transportation in a 108 ambulance to the Government Area Hospital in Sircilla. The 38-year-old man was subsequently admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
