Expressing extreme sorrow over the loss of lives due to the stampede situation, CM Chandrababu expressed dissatisfaction over the failure of precautionary measures. He questioned the authorities why weren’t adequate arrangements made, knowing a large number of devotees would attend? 

“Isn’t it crucial to ensure utmost vigilance and responsibility in managing such sensitive situations?” Babu asked the TTD management and local authorities.
