APSRTC, Tirupati region incurs a loss of ₹60 lakh per day
The speedy repair works done to the arterial roads that were damaged in floods in Chittoor district have ensured restoration of traffic on most of the routes.
However, traffic remained disrupted on the Tirupati – Chittoor route via Pachikapalam and Devalampeta as flood water from Rayalacheruvu tank inundated the roads. However, the highway route connecting the temple city to the district headquarters is intact. Similarly, traffic remained hit on the Pakala-Punganur route via Sodam and Somala, as the bridge on the Gargeya river turned creaky. The overflowing Swarnamukhi river also caused disruption in rural traffic in Yerpedu and Srikalahasti mandals.
