Thanks to the efforts made by Siricilla MLA KT Rama Rao, most of the persons, who went to Dubai in search of livelihood, were freed from captivity.
Two others reached the RGIA here on Wednesday. Several emotional scenes were witnessed at the airport following their reunion with their family members at the airport after 18 long years.
