In a heartwarming gesture, the Singapore government has officially felicitated Indian expatriates who rescued children during a recent fire accident at a school, including Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan’s younger son, Mark Shankar Pawanovich. The incident occurred on the 8th of this month and had created a wave of concern among Telugu communities worldwide.
According to official reports, a sudden fire broke out in a school building, trapping 16 children and six adults on the upper floors. Among those injured was Mark Shankar, who sustained minor injuries. He has since been discharged and is recovering at home, according to family sources.
The Singapore government recognized the brave efforts of four Indian workers who responded quickly upon hearing cries for help and seeing smoke emanating from the third floor. Without a moment’s hesitation, they rushed into the building and saved the lives of the trapped children. Officials noted that these individuals risked their own lives in the process, acting out of sheer humanity and courage.
As a token of appreciation, the Singapore government recently held a felicitation ceremony to honor these heroes. Their selfless act has received applause from both local authorities and international communities, especially the Indian diaspora.
Actor-politician Chiranjeevi, grandfather of the injured child, took to social media to express his gratitude to all those who prayed for his grandson’s recovery. Fans of Pawan Kalyan also shared messages of relief and joy over the boy’s safe return home.
The timely recognition by the Singapore government has brought pride to the Indian community, highlighting the global impact of courageous acts of compassion.
