The news of the tragic deaths of two young students, Chaitanya Mupparaju and Surya Teja Bobba, has left their friends and family in a state of mourning. The two men had gone for a swim at Millaa Millaa Falls, a popular waterfall in Far North Queensland, but unfortunately, they never made it out alive.
As the news of their untimely passing spread through various Indian communities, tributes and messages of condolences began pouring in online. Many were shocked and saddened by the news, with some even sharing their own memories and experiences with the two young men.
It was a heartbreaking scene as their bodies were discovered on Tuesday morning. The community was left in shock and disbelief, with many urging others to be cautious and aware of their swimming abilities before venturing into the water. In fact, an online fundraiser was set up to help support the families of Chaitanya and Surya, and within a short span of time, it had already raised over $90,000.
Surya Mangapati, who set up the fundraiser, expressed his deep sorrow and described the two men as "promising young students." He also mentioned that their families and loved ones were shattered beyond words, and that their loss has created a void that can never be filled. The funds raised will help alleviate the financial burden of funeral expenses and provide some relief to the families during this difficult time.
The Queensland Telugu Association, an organization dedicated to promoting the culture and literature of the Indian language group in the state, also offered their condolences to the families. They shared that the remains of Chaitanya and Surya would be arriving in Brisbane in the next few days before being repatriated to their hometown in Hyderabad, Telangana.
As the community continues to grieve, the association urged everyone to come together and offer their support to the affected families. They emphasized the importance of standing united during this profound loss and asked for people to share the fundraiser and extend their condolences.
In the wake of this tragedy, Detective Inspector Jason Smith also issued a warning to visitors, reminding them to only swim in areas where they are confident of their abilities. He shared that the men had entered the water from the shore and not from the rocks, and that one of them got into difficulty while the other tried to help but unfortunately, both lost their lives. A third man who also attempted to assist was treated for shock and exposure to the cold temperatures.
As the community mourns the loss of these two young men, their families and loved ones are left to cope with the unimaginable pain and grief. Let us all come together and offer our support and condolences during this difficult time. May their souls rest in peace.
