The EO recalled that Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, during his visit to Vontimitta for the Sri Kodandarama Swamy Kalyanotsavam on April 11, had instructed that Annaprasadam distribution should be conducted at Vontimitta on the lines of Tirumala. In line with this directive, he instructed the departments concerned to initiate measures to ensure full-fledged food service for devotees. As an interim arrangement, German sheds are currently being used on the temple premises. From August onwards, coordinated efforts between the engineering and Annaprasadam departments should ensure the full Annaprasadam distribution facilities.
