Andhra Pradesh: 8-year-old girl’s skating feat wins MLA Roja’s appreciation

Nagari

An 8-year-old girl of Puttur municipality in Chittoor district on Saturday performed an impressive feat of skating from the Nangili check-post on the Chittoor-Bengaluru NH in Karnataka to the residence of Nagari MLA R.K. Roja, covering a distance of about 250 kilometers. 

The girl, Vensika Siri, studying at a private school at Puttur, had shown keen interest in skating early on following which her parents sent her for training. 

With the respite in COVID infections, Siri wanted to perform a marathon skating, receiving all encouragement from parents. She began from Nangili at 6 a.m. on Saturday and reached Nagari late at night.
