Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has announced to conduct its mass marriage programme ‘Kalyanamasthu’ in every Assembly constituency of Andhra Pradesh, albeit in adherence to COVID-19 guidelines. The maiden event will be held on May 28 at 12.34 p.m. to 12.40 p.m. when the ‘Moola’ star is in vogue during the Vaisakha month. Executive Officer K.S. Jawahar Reddy on Tuesday directed the officials to commence the process for accepting applications and their registration. At a review meeting with senior officials, he said the TTD had exercised caution and decided to hold the event at the Assembly constituency level in order not to encourage huge gatherings at the district headquarters, which could create health and safety issues.A crowd comprising farmers, researchers, professors, students, and horticulture enthusiasts thronged the ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR), Hesaraghatta, Bengaluru, on Friday for the inaugural ceremony of the Triphal Diversity Show which showcased 300 mango, 100 jackfruit, and 100 banana genotypes in collaboration with ICAR-National Research Centre for Banana, Tiruchirappalli.
