High security for CM’s visit to Yadadri

Police made elaborate security arrangements for visit of Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao to Yadadri on Monday. On his way to Yadadri, the Chief Minister stopped at Vasalamarri for couple of minutes and asked the surpanch of the village Pogula Anjaiah to come along with him in his convoy. He inquired the sarpanch about the progress of development works at vasalamarri.

As the Chief Minister arrived to Yadadri from Erravalli by road, the police made fool proof security along with the route. The police arrested the auto drivers, who were staging protest for the last few days against the decision of the temple authorities not to allow auto rickshaws on to the hill shrine and shifted them to Yadagirigutta police station as a precautionary measure.
