The Srisailam temple authorities on Wednesday started the road widening works near the Sri Bhramarambha Mallikharjuna Swamy temple in Srisailam.
Temple executive officer (EO) M. Srinivasa Rao performed special pujas before commencement of the works on Wednesday. According to Mr. Srinivasa Rao, the existing 30 feet road would be widened by 15 feet on both sides. The road widening is taken up from Gangadhara Mandapam to Nandi temple.
After widening the road, footpaths would be constructed on both sides. Beautification works will also be taken up on both sides of the road. “This will enable the devotees to witness the Radhotsavam during Mahasivaratri Brahmotsavams and Ugadi Mahotsavams without any hassle,’‘ he said.

Responding to media queries over a recent case of a sexual assault on a woman walking home in Bengaluru, Home Minister G. Parameshwara said he had instructed the city Police Commissioner to strengthen the police beat system and added that “In a big city like this, such incidents do happen…”, drawing the ire of many.
