VISAKHAPATNAM, April 8, 2025 – Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Jana Sena Party chief K. Pawan Kalyan has abruptly cancelled his scheduled visit to Visakhapatnam today after his son, Mark Shankar, was injured in a school fire accident. Mr. Shankar sustained injuries to his legs and hands and suffered smoke inhalation.

Mr. Kalyan, despite the change of plans, kept his commitment to visit Kuridi village in Dumbriguda mandal. He inaugurated several development projects there as part of his “Adavi Thalli Bata” program, which aims to connect 167 tribal hamlets with road infrastructure. He had promised the villagers a visit on Monday.

After fulfilling his engagements in Kuridi, Mr. Kalyan proceeded directly to Visakhapatnam Airport to depart for Singapore to be with his son. This resulted in the cancellation of an Eco-Tourism meeting he was slated to attend at the Indira Gandhi Zoological Park.
