TTD reviews Navaratri Brahmotsavam arrangements
Sources in the muzrai department said Tirumala needs 20-25 million litres per day, with much of its supply drawn from reservoirs in the vicinity.
Basavanthappa told TOI Tirumala had been facing scarcity for the past few weeks. We’ve been relying on water tankers to supply water to the Karnataka Bhavan for the time being,” the minister said. For them also it is only for freshening up that we are providing water,” an official said.
Karnataka Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments (Muzrai) dept has put out a message in the office of minister KS Basavanthappa announcing that no recommendation letters will be issued for room and hall bookings at the facility operated by the state govt. “Drought has gripped the entire peninsular region. Their water levels, however, have been depleting rapidly. “Post the Brahmotsava, TTD asked us to provide water only for potable purposes and supply water only during two hours each in the morning and in the evening. With difficulty, we managed to secure a supply of four water tankers. Currently, we are not entertaining offline bookings and only accommodating online bookings as they would have booked three months in advance.
