Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham pontiff Sri Vijayendra Saraswathi on Sunday formally declared open two arterial roads developed as part of the masterplan by the Municipal Corporation of Tirupati (MCT).
The roads, developed in the outlying area of Poolavanigunta with a collective outlay of over ₹9 crore, were named ‘Paramacharya Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati Mahaswamy Marg’ and ‘Thondaman Chakravarthi Marg’ respectively after the seer’s predecessor and the emperor who ruled this region in the past.
After travelling in an electric car for a distance on the newly laid roads, the seer lauded MLA B. Karunakar Reddy for choosing the names of the spiritual and the historical personalities for the roads.
Member of Parliament M. Gurumoorthy, MLC C. Subramanyam, Mayor R. Sireesha Yadav and MCT commissioner D. Haritha participated in the inauguration.
