Elaborate arrangements have been made at the Kondagattu Anjaneya Swamy temple in Jagtial district for the three-day Pedda Hanuman Jayanthi celebrations. Over three lakh devotees are expected to attend, with special transport, medical, sanitation and security arrangements put in place.
Three youths were killed and nine devotees injured after a speeding lorry hit a motorcycle and later an autorickshaw in Dharmapuri, triggering a double collision and prompting a police investigation into the incident.
Devotees of Lord Hanuman and members of religious organizations staged a protest demanding action against the management of the school for barring the students from entering the school and appearing for annual examinations citing the Hanuman deeksha.
