As part of AP government’s efforts to give a big boost to the tourism sector, plans are being made to develop the prominent spiritual center Srisailam shrine on the lines of Tirumala. Devotees flock to Srisailam, a famous Shaivite shrine in the state, not only from the two Telugu states, but also from neighboring Karnataka and Maharashtra.
Especially during the months of Karthika and Shravan, the Srisailam shrine resonates with the chanting of Shiva’s name. However, traffic jams on the ghat road occasionally cause problems for the devotees. In this context, the government has started taking steps to develop Srisailam without any problems for the devotees coming to Srisailam.
As part of this, a master plan with comprehensive details will be prepared for the development of Srisailam on the lines of Tirumala. Nandyal District Collector G. Rajakumari instructed the officials to submit reports for this. The Collector conducted a review on the development of Srisailam.
On this occasion, she ordered reports on the development of Srisailam on the lines of Tirumala. AP Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan chaired a review meeting on endowments and tourism recently. In this meeting, the district officials were instructed to send reports for the preparation of a master plan for the development of Srisailam.
In this context, the Nandyal District Collector, who met with the officials, ordered that the reports required for the comprehensive action plan for the development of Srisailam be sent by Friday evening. She said that if the reports are prepared and submitted by the concerned officials, the master plan will be prepared and reported to the government.
On the other hand, the Nandyal District Collector revealed that proposals for the construction of an iconic bridge from Sunnipenta to Srisailam for a distance of two and a half kilometers will also be included in the master plan. When it comes to the development of Srisailam, it is known that seaplane services have also been started recently from Vijayawada. However, it is reported that these will be fully available from March or April next year.
