Medak (Telangana): After the plight of two minor orphaned children in Telangana's Medak was highlighted by media, the state government has stepped in, announcing an "immediate" compensation of Rs 100,000 for the family. The children were forced to work as daily wage labourers after their father committed suicide leaving behind a debt of Rs 300,000. Now a group of

60 women, who call themselves "Gurgaon Moms", has offered to help the family by contributing Rs 5,000 each, which would effectively help clear the entire debt of Rs 300,000 each.
