Srisailam Temple Tightens Security to Protect Shrine's Sanctity

The Srisailam Devasthanam has announced stricter measures to preserve the sanctity of the temple premises following reports of undesirable activities near the amphitheatre. Trust Board Chairman Pothugunta Ramesh Naidu and Executive Officer M. Srinivasa Rao said surveillance and security have been stepped up, with 40 additional police personnel deployed to strengthen safety across the temple complex. Vehicle checks at the toll gate will now be more rigorous through joint operations by police and temple security staff. The Devasthanam also confirmed an inquiry into a social media reel allegedly filmed using a temple walkie-talkie, warning that strict legal action will be taken against anyone violating temple rules under the Endowments Act. Officials reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining a peaceful, spiritual atmosphere while continuing to provide quality facilities and services for devotees.
