The sacred hill temple of Lord Venkateswara continues to reel under the impact of thronging crowds for the second consecutive day on Sunday.
According to the information available by evening over 65,000 pilgrims had the darshan of the presiding deity and the queue lines remain spilled outside the Vaikuntam complex.
Statistics reveal that there was a little respite in the number of pilgrims reaching the town on foot. About 26,000 pilgrims reached the town on foot by evening as against 40,000 the previous day. TTD Executive Officer D. Sambasiva rao besides monitoring the situation also inspected the Pilgrim Amenities Complex (PAC) and inquired the devotees about the arrangements. Temple officials sounded confident to facilitate darshan to over 90,000 pilgrims by Ekantha seva in the night.
