Vinayaka Sagar gets a facelift with swimming pool, jogging tracks

A swimming pool and a RO drinking water facility were inaugurated at Vinayaka Sagar located on Karakambadi Road in Tirupati on Tuesday.

Vinayaka Sagar, which was once used to immerse Lord Ganesh idols during the Nimajjanam ceremony, has become a buzzing spot in the city after the Municipal Corporation of Tirupati (MCT) stepped in to transform the neglected water body into a water front facility with greenery and jogging tracks.

MLA Arani Srinivasulu, deputy Mayor R.C. Munikrishna, District Collector S. Venkateswar, MCT Commissioner N. Mourya and other leaders participated in the event.

Mr. Srinivasulu termed the facility yet another milestone in the Coalition government’s record and appealed to the public to make use of the facility. The MLA also participated in the 123rd birth anniversary of Tamil Nadu’s former Chief Minister Kamaraj Nadar.
