Tirumala Reservoirs May Last Only Until March-April
TTD Chairman B.R. Naidu inspected the reservoirs that feed Tirumala and said their water should last until March or April. He directed officials to work out alternatives in case rainfall fails to refill them. The reservoirs feed the hill town, so officials are planning ahead.
