Such a shock in Tirupati; Didn't expect this kind of rainfall!!!
Due to the continuous rain, the vision of Ezhumalayan in Thirumalai has seen an unexpected decline. The northeast monsoon is in full swing in various parts of Andhra Pradesh. It has caused severe damage, especially in tirupati and its localities. Many people are suffering due to floods caused by continuous rainfall. Videos of rainwater runoff on the way from tirupati to tirumala have been released. Landslides in many places have affected traffic. All the water bodies in Thirumalai are overflowing and the overflow is being discharged as it is. Devotees attending the Swami Darshan have been asked to stay safe in restrooms in Thirumalai. Many have canceled their trip to tirumala due to bad weather. The Tirupati-Tirumalai dual carriageway and Alipiri walkway were closed and sealed two days ago.
Thus 15 thousand devotees were trapped in Thirumalai. Due to heavy rainfall, only 7,053 devotees visited the Seven Hills on the 19th. Meanwhile, 8,754 people donated their hair, 1.92 crores have been collected in the bill. The temple has suffered a loss of Rs 4 crore due to the low presence of devotees. The two-lane road to Thirumalai was reopened yesterday morning as the rains eased. vehicles could be seen moving in both lanes. Meanwhile, Dr. KS jawahar Reddy, Executive Officer, Thirumalai tirupati Devasthanam, inspected various parts of the damaged Tirupati-Thirumalai dual carriageway, including sidewalks. Immediately issued an order to carry out restoration work on a wartime basis. The Sreevari step walkway in particular is severely damaged. It seems like it will take more than a week to fix this. Devotees will likely intensify the vision of Ezhumalayan only after the rains subside in tirupati and its environs.
