K. Satyanarayana, who has already convened several review meetings to assess the security situation, inspected the security check-points to keep a track of the situation. Stringent security measures were in place at the Central Bus Stand, Railway Station and at the entrance to Tirumala near Alipiri.
However, the vigil was heightened following an unidentified person managed to slip through the security check at Tirupati railway station.
According to sources, the person on the pretext of booking a ticket went inside the station and fled. Police officials are currently reviewing the CCTV footages to trace that person.
Several residential areas were also put under the scanner. Further, Mr. Satyanarayana has appealed to the house owners to furnish details of their tenants to police, so as to maintain records of new people staying in the city. Besides this, the hoteliers have been instructed to install CCTV cameras, on the premises of their respective properties. Terming it compulsory, the officials further asked them to provide accommodation, only if provided with valid identity proof.
During the checking exercise, twenty vehicles those abandoned at major transit points have been seized so far and few persons taken into custody.
Meanwhile, Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams’ (TTD) Chief Vigilance and Security Officer Nagendra Kumar urged the pilgrims to cooperate with the security measures in place at the checking points leading to Tirumala. Besides this, 75 CCTV cameras have been set up for the annual Karthika Brahmotsavams in Tiruchanur, along with deployment of additional personnel for Gajavahanam and Panchami Teertham.
The police have decided to beef up security in Tirupati and Tirumala on Sunday (Dec 6) in view of the day being observed as a Black Day by some sections of the people (in protest against the demolition of the Babri Masjid on Dec 6,1992).
The decision was taken at a meeting held at the Police Officers Meeting Hall here Saturday, under the leadership of Anantapur Range DIG K Satyanarayana, who suggested several measures to prevent any untoward incident on the day as well as during the forthcoming ‘Vaikunta Ekadasi’ at Tirumala and the ‘Kartika Brahmotsavam’ at Tiruchanoor here.
The DIG suggested that bomb disposal squads and dog squads should thoroughly check the pilgrim-passengers as well as the trains at Tirupati and Renigunta railway stations. He also wanted the police officers to make fool-proof security arrangements at Alipiri and Srivari Mettu and also thoroughly check all the pilgrims, their luggages and vehicles. He further said that all the pilgrims entering the temples at Tirumala and Tirupati should be frisked and also checked with metal detectors.Satyanarayana said that any abandoned vehicle should be checked and suspicious persons should be taken into custody. The footages of CCTV cameras at Tirupati Railway station and Bus Stand should be scrutinised, he added.

Intensifying their vigil, police made extensive searches and inspections in the pilgrim town on Sunday. Notably, senior officials, including Anantapur Range DIG Satyanarayana, Tirupati Urban Superintendent of Police Gopinath Jatti, led the inspection from the front at several places. Police led by the two senior officials conducted a cordon and search in the sprawling down town areas of Jeevakona and Satayanarayana puram where police made a house-to-house search, verifying the identity of the residents which went on for several hours in the morning.

The inspection by the officials continued covering various busy and crowded areas like RTC bus station, Railway station etc till 7 pm on Sunday.
night also. At railway station, much to their dismay, the official found the luggage scanner at the entrance remaining non-functional. Police, including SP, during their intense inspection in the railway station, verified the identity cards of many and questioned several to know their antecedent and purpose of visit.
Sources said that the police urged the security personnel in the police station to pull up their socks to ensure round-the-clock vigil in the railway station keeping in view the movement of a large number of people in the local area where thousands of pilgrims daily arrive from various places in the country.
