JEO inspects arrangements for Brahmotsavams

Tirumala: With the annual Brahmotsavams of Lord Venkateswara fast approaching, TTD Joint Executive Officer of Tirumala KS Srinivasa Raju on Sunday carried out marathon inspections in the four Mada streets atop the temple town. Accompanied by top officials including Chief Cop of TTD GVG Ashok Kumar, Tirupati Urban SP Rajasekhar Babu, Raju inspected the arrangements being made at the waiting galleries in the four Mada streets for the visiting devotees.

After the two-hour long inspection, speaking to media persons, the JEO said the arrangements are on as less than 20 days are left for the annual mega religious event. "We have extended the waiting galleries so that they will accommodate more number of pilgrims during the procession of various vahanams. We have taken up enough security measures with the co-operation of Tirupati police, especially during the Garuda Seva day which falls on the fifth day. Today we have inspected the barricading, enter and exit gates and other safety measures to see that pilgrims are not put to any inconvenience. All the arrangements will be completed soon and there will be a trial run of new Swarna Ratham either on September 25 or 30,” he added.
