Minister for Endowments Anam Ramanarayana Reddy on Saturday said that the State government is spending ₹33,600 crore to give NTR Bharosa social pensions to 68 lakh people per year. The Minister distributed pension along with the officials and local public representatives at Veerlagudipadu village of Sangam mandal in SPSR Nellore district. Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Reddy said, 'Despite the State's dire financial situation, Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu is giving priority to the welfare of the poor. With his administrative skills and immense experience, he is putting the State on the right track. New pensions are being granted to 74,600 people, including widows, from across the State from June 12.' The Minister also inaugurated a cement road in Veerlagudipadu village, which is in a dilapidated state due to Penna and Boggeru rivers. He said that efforts are being made to improve connectivity of this remote village, while adding that, 'the officials have prepared proposals worth ₹25 crore to build a road-cum-bridge over Boggeru to connect this village to the national highway.' He said, 'Currently, the people of Veerlagudipadu travel around 25 km via Atmakur to reach Sangam but with the construction of this road-cum-bridge, the villagers will only have to travel about 10 km to reach Sangam. The government is taking steps to convert all the roads in the village into cement roads.' Meanwhile, Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) Ponguru Narayana distributed pensions to the beneficiaries living on the banks of Zafar Saheb canal in Division 3 of Nellore Municipal Corporation (NMC) limits.

The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) formed the team at the request of ASI Director Muniratnam Reddy, with support from the Andhra Pradesh government and Endowments Minister Anam Ramanarayana Reddy. In a statement, the director said the team includes experts from ASI, IIT, Agama Sastra scholars, and Pune-based engineers known for ancient temple conservation. The experts discussed strategies to preserve the temple for the next 200–300 years without future structural interventions. The team focused on evaluating the integrity of load-bearing structures. They explored traditional reinforcement methods using natural, locally sourced materials. Materials considered include lime, jaggery, Arabic tree gum, lady finger extract, jute fibres, and Kadakia—substances historically valued for their strength and compatibility with ancient construction. Muniratnam said the initiative aims to protect the temple's architectural legacy and ensure its endurance for future generations. The project marks a significant step in preserving one of Andhra's most revered heritage sites.
