Banaganapalle: A seven-member governing body of the Umamaheswara temple at Yaganti, headed by Battula Balireddy, on Monday took oath. Banaganapalle legislator BC Janardhan Reddy graced the occasion as the chief guest. The temple Executive Officer Adiseshu Naidu administered the oath to the members and chairman.

The MLA called upon the new governing body to strive for development of the temple while promising to get release funds to the temple by government. A programme will be undertaken to develop a tourist hub linking various places of tourist interest like Yaganti, Avuku reservoir, Belum caves, Maha Nandi and Ahobilam to woo the tourists. He said that he would get funds released to the tourist hub project by taking up the issue with the Tourism Minister, who hails from Kurnool district.

Meanwhile, arrangements are going on in full swing at Yaganti for celebration of Mahasivaratri. Several devotees are expected to reach here not only from Telugu states but also from other states in view of the significance attached to the pilgrimage centre.

Soon after taking oath, the new governing body got itself busy making arrangements for the thronging multitudes of people. Former chairman of the governing body Donapati Yaganti Reddy and others were present on the occasion.
