TIRUPATI: The dilapidated rock mandapam near Alipiri Padala mandapam will be renovated at a cost of Rs 1.36 crore for the benefit of devotees, said TTD EO AV Dharma Reddy on Wednesday.
After inspection of the old Mandapam on Wednesday along with JEO Veerabrahmam, the TTD EO told reporters that kings had built two stone mandapams on both sides of the footpath of which one was in bad shape and one in dilapidated condition.
The engineering department also submitted a report on the revival by reusing the slabs and pillars. He clarified that when the TTD renovated the Paruveta Mandapam in Tirumala earlier, there was a malicious campaign on social media hurting the sentiments of devotees.
He appealed against such a baseless campaign and warned of stringent action against such false reports. Earlier the EO explained and showed the damaged back walls of the mandapam to the media personnel.
