Pushkaralu: 15 Lakh Took Dip On Day 1 In Telangana
Endowments Minister Indrakaran Reddy directed the officials to remain even more cautious to ensure no tragic incident took place at any of the five districts.
Telangana Endowments Minister A Indrakaran Reddy announced that 15 lakh devotees from various places had taken a dip on the first day in the five districts of Telangana through which the Godavari passes.
Talking to the media on Wednesday, the minister directed the officials to remain even more cautious and ensure that no tragic incident took place at any of the five districts celebrating the pushkaralu festivities.
Reddy expressed satisfaction with the pushkar ghats planning and the turnout of the people to attend the pious event, being conducted for first time in Telangana.
The minister maintained that the Telangana government had taken all necessary measures well in advance to avert any major incident. Keeping the tragic incident of the deaths of 27 persons at Rajahmundry in Andhra Pradesh on the first day in a stampede in mind, the officials in Telangana should be more cautious, he advised.
The minister reiterated that the people seeking to bathe at any of the pushkar ghats should get a hassle-free experience, and be able to have a darshan of the presiding deities at the nearby temples too in a quick and easy manner. (NSS)
