The situation is not under control in Tirupathi and Tirumala due to floods. But the darshan of the Lord Balaji is going on as usual. Water is still gushing around Tirumala from all sides. The TTD board officials are trying to take care of the pilgrims at their best.
There is no proper communication if the darshan of the Lord is going on. But PRO Ravi said that there is no problem with the darshan. Vehicular Traffic has been stopped early in the morning due to fog and ow visibility on the Ghat roads.
The floodwater levels in and around several areas of Tirupati, Tirumala and the rest of the Chittoor district have increased to alarming levels, leading to residents moving from their homes to seek safety.
The Japali Anjaneya Swamy temple on Tirumala was inundated and idol of the God submerged. Following this, the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam officials made arrangements for free food and accommodation for the pilgrims who were stranded on the holy hills.
The two ghat roads leading to the Tirumala Hills were closed for traffic following the flood and landslides. The pedestrian stairway leading to the temple from Alipiri was also closed down.
But slowly things are coming back to normal..Flight operations were hampered in the city as the Tirupati International Airport at Renigunta also remained inundated, forcing the authorities to stop the landing of incoming aircraft, it further said.
