The recent stampede at Tirupati temple has left the entire state of Andhra Pradesh in shock and mourning. Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has taken swift action by announcing a judicial inquiry into the incident, which has claimed the lives of six innocent people and left dozens more injured. In addition, he has decided to transfer three senior officials, including the district Superintendent of Police, in order to ensure accountability and prevent such tragedies from happening in the future.
In a press conference, Naidu expressed his deep sorrow over the unfortunate incident. He also revealed that he has suspended two officials, including a DSP, for their negligence in handling the situation. The Chief Minister noticed some flaws in the administration and monitoring systems in Tirupati, which he believes should have been flawless. He is determined to address these issues and make sure that the safety and well-being of the devotees is not compromised in any way.
Naidu also mentioned that the previous regime had introduced a new system of issuing tokens for entry to the temple, instead of the earlier process of distributing them at the Tirumala hills. He believes that this new system might have contributed to the chaos and confusion which led to the stampede. However, he assured the public that necessary steps will be taken to prevent any such mishaps in the future.
In light of this tragic event, Naidu has announced a compensation of Rs 25 lakh to the families of the deceased and Rs 2 lakh to the injured. This gesture reflects his empathy and concern for those affected by the stampede. The CM also visited the hospital where the injured are being treated, to personally check on their well-being and provide any necessary assistance.
The stampede occurred on the night of January 9 at Bairagi Patteda near MGM School, as hundreds of devotees gathered for the Vaikunta Dwara Darshanam at Lord Venkateswara Swamy temple. The event, which marks the beginning of a 10-day festival, attracts devotees from all over the country. It is a time of great significance and devotion for the people, and the tragic incident has left everyone in a state of shock and disbelief.
Naidu has taken swift and decisive action in response to this unfortunate event, and his efforts to ensure justice and prevent such incidents in the future are commendable. The entire state stands in solidarity with the families of the victims and prays for the speedy recovery of the injured. May such tragedies never befall us again.
