Massive Landslip on Tirumala ghat road; IIT Delhi team to inspect

Tirumala had never experienced such unprecedented rains in the past thirty years

A massive landslip was reported on the second ghat road leading to Tirumala in the early hours of Tuesday.

The incident took place about one kilometre ahead of the town. Huge boulders along with the rubble from atop a mountain cliff, in the vicinity of Sri Dova Bhasyakarla sannidhi, tumbled down and fell across the road. The landslip was so massive that the road was severely damaged at two different locations and a small stretch of parapet wall also got washed away on the road below. However, no casualties were reported.
