Cyclone Fengal eases Tirumala water crisis with abundant rains

New Indian Express  

TIRUMALA: Cyclone Fengal has provided a silver lining for the Tirumala region, delivering much-needed rainfall to replenish water reservoirs and mitigate a pressing water crisis. The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams, which had implemented water rationing three months ago due to drought conditions, now finds itself relieved by the rain’s bounty. TTD executive officer J Syamala Rao had earlier introduced rationing measures based on weather forecasts, rainfall predictions, and the impact of pilgrims on water resources. While heavy rainfall replenished key water bodies, it also caused disruptions, including landslides and fallen trees that briefly halted traffic on the ghat roads.
