The multi-faceted U.V. Krishnam Raju, who breathed his last on September 11, had lived his entire life close to his very own soil - the Godavari region.
A pall of gloom descended on the village of Mogaltur, where he was born on January 20, 1940, and left an indelible mark in the village with his services apart from bringing laurels as an actor.
Padavala Satyanarayana, Mogaltur Sarpanch, told The Hindu; “our village was expecting Krishnam Raju to come for Pongal. We have planned to discuss the village development plan with him. He was the man behind the national highway for Mogaltur and two bridges that cut the distance between Narsapur and Bhimavaram”.
