Tirupati: Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Board Member Bhanu Prakash Reddy confirmed that 30 people injured in the stampede at the Tirupati temple were out of danger after being admitted to SVIMS Tirupati.
"There are 30 people who are admitted to SVIMS Tirupati, they are out of danger. We have talked to the medical team," said Reddy. He also mentioned that both the Chief Minister and the state's Health Minister are on their way to Tirupati to oversee the situation.
Regarding accountability over the incident, Reddy said, "If there is involvement of any officer in all this, we will take strict action against him once we get the report. We will not spare anyone."
Reddy apologized on behalf of the TTD for the incident, stating, "I am sorry on behalf of TTD for such an incident. No such incidents will ever happen in future." He added that the management is committed to ensuring safety measures are put in place to prevent similar incidents.
Meanwhile, Bharatiya Chaitanya Yuvajana Party (BCYP) chief Bode Ramachandra Yadav distributed Rs50,000 to the families of the deceased and Rs5,000 to the injured following a tragic incident.
Speaking to ANI, Yadav condemned the incident, which led to multiple fatalities and injuries. "This is a very unfortunate incident that happened yesterday. This is purely because of the irresponsibility of the government and the TTD management," he remarked. Yadav further called for accountability, stating that the current TTD board should resign immediately.
"The government and TTD should take responsibility," he added, urging them to take necessary steps to ensure such incidents do not occur again," he said.
Yadav sharply criticized the TTD board for prioritizing political gain over the well-being of devotees. "The TTD board should be composed of individuals dedicated to the services of Lord Venkateshwara, not those seeking political mileage or business interests," he said.
He also criticised Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, demanding immediate action. "The Chief Minister should appoint a new TTD board that works for the betterment of devotees and the temple's sanctity," Yadav stated, stressing that a major overhaul was necessary to restore trust in the management of the temple.
