In a historic move, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu is set to launch a seaplane service from Vijayawada to Patalaganga, near the Krishna River, on Saturday. Ahead of this significant event, a robust security blanket has been placed around the Srisailam temple and its surrounding areas to ensure the safety of the Chief Minister during his visit. Given that the Nallamala forest region has been historically affected by extremism, security measures have been heightened, with 523 police personnel, including 10 special teams and 4 Greyhound squads, deployed to maintain strict vigilance.
Upon arriving in Patalaganga, CM Naidu is scheduled to reach the boating point and proceed to the Lord Mallikarjuna Swamy and Goddess Bramarambika temples for darshan. The Chief Minister’s visit to these revered temples will include ceremonial offerings and blessings, marking a spiritually significant moment for him and the region.
The police force has significantly increased its presence, initiating comprehensive combing operations to ensure security throughout the area. Nandyal Superintendent of Police, Athirajsingh, personally inspected the site, overseeing the meticulous arrangements for the Chief Minister’s visit. The Srisailam temple authorities have also coordinated with police teams to prepare all necessary facilities, ensuring a smooth and safe experience for both the Chief Minister and other visiting devotees.
This event not only marks the commencement of seaplane services in Andhra Pradesh but also enhances the accessibility of the region, benefiting devotees and tourists alike. The government aims to boost regional connectivity and promote Srisailam as a key pilgrimage destination through this innovative travel initiative.
