Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has expressed deep sorrow over the accident. The injured are undergoing treatment in the hospital, but the question arises that how did this situation arise?
In fact, a stampede broke out near Vishnu Nivasam in Tirupati for darshan token at the Tirumala Srivari Vaikuntha gate of the temple.
It is being told that around 4,000 people were standing in the token queue for darshan. Temple Committee Chairman BR Naidu is holding an emergency meeting regarding the situation.
Since the morning of Wednesday (January 8, 2025), thousands of devotees started standing in lines to have darshan of Vaikuntha Dwar. Let us tell you that the Vaikuntha gates have been opened for ten days and due to this there was a stampede regarding tickets.
A huge crowd gathers to have darshan of Baikunth Gate. According to the information given by the temple, Vaikuntha gate will remain open from January 10 to January 19.
Tirupati temple had said in a post on X that the temple will give away about one lakh 20 thousand darshan tickets for free on the morning of January 9.
