Lakhs of devotees from different parts of the country deeply believe that receiving this prasadam will provide relief from diseases. The distribution began this morning and will continue tomorrow (June 9). The government has made elaborate arrangements for this grand event. Around 140 RTC special buses have been allocated to control the rush of devotees. Traffic restrictions are in place in the vicinity of the Nampally Exhibition Grounds.
The organizers have set up 42 special queue lines for the convenience of devotees. The entire ground will be under the surveillance of CCTV cameras. Tight security is being provided by over a thousand police personnel. Entry will be allowed through the fourth gate for VIPs, the third gate for the disabled and the elderly, and the general devotees will be allowed through the Ajanta gate.
