KARIMNAGAR, AUGUST 04, 2024: It was a pleasant surprise to Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar as his classmates belonging to the SSC batch of Saraswathi Sishu mandir in Karimnagar town met in Hyderabad and exchanged greetings as part of the International Friendship day celebrations on Sunday.
Following the news that the Union Minister was touring Hyderabad, his childhood friends numbering around 35 gave a pleasant surprise by meeting in at Mansoorabad at LB Nagar in Hyderabad. The friends bought a special cake and made him cut the cake and share it with the friends.
