Veena-VaniOur readers are well about the conjoint twins – Veena, Vani, daughters of poor parents hailing from an interior village of Warangal district. After living 11 years by a joint head, the kids and their parents got hopes on the future after the London-based Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), raised hopes of surgically separating them at a whopping cost of Rs 10 crore.

While it is a great news for the parents, the 10 Crore needed for the surgery is beyond the imagination of the couple who make barely 300 a day. The state government is sitting on the file with out making an decision regarding the help.

Again the cost estimation report took into account the expenditure for only one attendant, which means the couple should bear cost of one of them in London. Veena-Vani’s father, Murali drives a rented auto-rickshaw while their mother, Nagalakshmi works in a cotton field. They have already sold the 2 acres of their ancestral land for the treatment.
