Devotee Boom Spurs Temple Road Plans
31 May
Summary
- A second ghat road for Kanaka Durga Temple is under consideration.
- Existing road faces pressure from increasing devotee numbers.
- New facilities including rest houses are also planned.
Efforts are underway to construct a second ghat road to the Kanaka Durga Temple, a proposal that has been pending for decades. This development is driven by the continuous increase in devotees, which is placing significant pressure on the existing single ghat road. The new road aims to improve traffic management, pilgrim convenience, and safety, especially during peak periods.
Temple authorities are coordinating with the roads and buildings department to finalize plans for the second ghat road. However, engineers note potential challenges due to residential structures and the mixed terrain of Indrakeeladri Hill. This ambitious project is part of a broader master plan to enhance infrastructure and pilgrim amenities at the shrine.
In addition to the road, the temple trust board is addressing the lack of on-site accommodation. Permanent rest houses and dormitory facilities have been approved for construction. The inauguration of new prasadam distribution and Annaprasadam preparation centers is also anticipated soon, further improving the facilities available to the thousands of daily visitors.
