Ticket Irregularities Surface Again at Vijayawada Durga Temple

Irregularities in ticket sales at the Durgamma Temple in Vijayawada have come to light, with two separate incidents reported within a week. Based on complaints filed by the Executive Officer, two FIRs were registered at the One Town Police Station. The incidents have raised concerns over revenue losses to the temple due to the alleged involvement of some temple staff.

In the earlier case involving fake ₹500 tickets, only limited action was taken against the accused. Following the latest complaint, Police Commissioner Rajasekhar Babu suspended Home Guard Chandrasekhar. In a separate incident that occurred recently, the Executive Officer removed two employees from their duties for their alleged involvement in the irregularities.
