JAGTIAL : In view of the increasing number of devotees visiting the Sri Anjaneya Swamy temple in Kondagattu, Executive Officer (EO) A Chandrashekar on Sunday announced plans to build 100 rooms and ‘Deeksha Mandapam’ on the hillock of Kondagattu with the help of funds from the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD).

In a press communique, the EO said Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Jana Sena Party (JSP) president Pawan Kalyan responded positively to the proposal presented to him during his visit to the temple on Saturday.
