Telangana Rashtra Samithi MLA T Harish Rao, on Friday, called on Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam's Administrative Board chairman K Bapiraju, and appealed to him to focus on reviving the temples in the Telangana region, which, it said, are on the verge of extinction.
After a darshan of Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala, Harish Rao met Bapiraju, and urged him to make efforts to revamp temples in the Telangana region, which, he asserted, are in a pathetic state.
He asked Bapiraju to liberally release funds for the reconstruction of the temples, whose maintenance and upkeep, he said, has been ignored by successive governments.
According to reports, Bapiraju assured Harish Rao that he would take a decision in this regard after conducting a review meeting with the officials concerned. (INN)
