After the Tirupati temple administration requested the Civil Aviation Ministry to declare Tirumala a ‘No-Fly’ zone, Union minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu said on Sunday that authorities are in discussions with air traffic controllers to explore alternate flight routes.<\/p>\n
“We are trying to talk with the Navigation and Air Traffic Control so that flights can take some alternate paths,” Mr Naidu said while speaking to reporters in Hyderabad.<\/p>\n
“There have been a lot of requests from religious sites and important sites (for a no-fly zone), so we are trying to see what can be done best,” he added.<\/p>\n
The Minister clarified that there is no provision for declaring an area as a ‘No-Fly’ zone.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the day, Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD), the trust that maintains Tirupati temple, wrote a letter to the Minister of Civil Aviation, requesting that Tirumala be declared a no-fly zone to prevent aircraft from flying over the sacred pilgrimage site.<\/p>\n
In the letter to the Minister, TTD Chairman BR Naidu emphasized the temple’s sanctity, security concerns, and devotees’ sentiments. He pointed out that low-flying aircraft, helicopters, and other aerial activities over Tirumala disturb the sacred atmosphere surrounding the Sri Venkateswara Temple.<\/p>\n
The trust argued that declaring Tirumala a No-Fly Zone is a crucial step toward preserving the sacred shrine’s sanctity and cultural and spiritual heritage.<\/p>\n
The TTD chairman urged the Union Minister to take immediate action on the matter.<\/p>\n
