APSRTC running 110 special buses

Two lakh devotees, from both the Telugu States, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, are expected to take part in the annual event that will conclude between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. The APSRTC is running 110 special services from various places for the benefit of devotees.

Special medical camps have been set up all over the town and Annadanam(free meals) will be organised both by the temple authorities and philanthropists.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Bhavya Kishore said that special arrangements are in place to divert traffic on the roads leading to Madanapalle(Chittoor district) and Hindupur. Power will be switched off on all Mada Streets from morning till the chariot gets back to its resting place so that no untoward incident takes place.
