Andhra Pradesh: Heavy Rush Chokes Srisailam Ghat Road

Vehicles moved slowly between Sakshi Ganapathi and Hatakeswaram, while traffic was stranded for nearly five kilometres from the Srisailam entry point towards Sunnipenta. Long queues forced passengers to remain on the road for hours.

Police personnel were deployed to regulate traffic, but the heavy rush made management difficult.

Tourists heading to the Srisailam reservoir following recent inflows further added to the congestion.

Meanwhile, temple officials said devotees were waiting for hours in queues for darshan at the Srisailam temple.
