Radha Sapthami Arrangements Inspected

 Tirumala, 14 Feb. 21: As TTD is all set to observe, the one-day mega-festival, Radha Sapthami on February 19, the TTD Security and Police held a thorough inspection and reviewed on arrangements on Sunday at Tirumala. 

 

Due to Covid lockdown during last year, TTD held all mega utsavams in Ekantam only including annual and Navarathri brahmotsavams in 2020. Even the vahana sevas were observed in Ekantam.

This is going to be the first mega-festival after the relaxation of Covid restrictions. 

 

TTD CVSO Sri Gopinath Jatti along with Tirupati Urban SP Sri Venkatappala Naidu inspected the four-Mada streets, Vahana Mandapam, parking areas etc. along with other TTD Vigilance and Police officials on Sunday in Tirumala.
