Mr. Naida also stated that the state government would ask the Union government to allocate 2,000 hectares of forest land to facilitate the complex development of the Srisailam temple.
The main minister, who chaired the audit meeting in his camp office on Sunday, said that the allocation of forest land was necessary to provide modern Lakh devices who visit Srisailam every year.
“The project not only improves equipment such as parking, accommodation and connectivity, but also exports environmental protection with the development of the temple,” he said.
Importance
Mr. Naida stressed that Srisailam’s temple, which is like Jyotirling Kshetra and Shakti Peetha, should be developed to handle the heavy pilgrimage influx of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Maharashtra and other countries. “The temple city should be associated with the nearby National Motorways in Dornala, Srisailam Sunnipenta and the EEGALAPENT to improve availability,” he said.
