Heavy Rush Continues in Tirumala

A heavy pilgrim rush has been continuing in Tirumala for the past three days.

The mid-summer vacation rush in May has reached its peak this weekend as almost all the academic examinations are completed for students across the country.

TTD has made elaborate arrangements for the multitude of visiting pilgrims by erecting barricades for outside lines starting at Kalyana Vedika in an outer ring road that stretches to nearly  5km.

Continuous supply of Annaprasadam, water distribution at various points all through the stretch up to Krishna Teja Circle with the help of Srivari Seva volunteers has been ensured in outside lines.

The medical teams supplied medicines and ORS packets to the needy devotees through battery-operated buggys.

Under the instructions of TTD EO Sri AV Dharma Reddy, all the senior officers led by JEO Sri Veerabrahmam have been put on round-the-clock surveillance in Tirumala to ensure hassle free arrangements to pilgrims.

It takes about 24 hours for the devotees who are entering lines at Octopus Circle as per 5pm reports on Sunday evening.
