Row erupts over road closure abutting TTD’s twin complexes
Authorities' decision to block a stretch of road adjacent to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams' twin complexes has sparked a dispute. The move was announced last week and has led to protests at the site. Local residents and transport operators argue the closure hampers daily commutes and pilgrimage traffic, while officials cite security and crowd‑management concerns. Negotiations are underway to find a compromise, but tensions remain high.
