Two young women from Telangana, Pullakhandam Meghana Rani and Kadiyala Bhavana, both 24, died in a car accident in California while on a trip with friends. The students had moved to the US for higher studies, recently completed their Master's degrees, and were seeking employment. Their vehicle reportedly lost control and plunged into a gorge near Alabama Hills. Families are seeking government assistance for repatriation of the bodies, while US authorities investigate the crash. A GoFundMe has also been set up to help with expenses.
