DGP offers worship at famous temple,

Vijayawada, July 12: Andhra Pradesh Director General of Police (DGP) S S P Yadav and his spouse today worshipped Goddess Kanakadurga on the Indrakeeladri hill here today.

He was received by Temple Executive Officer T Chandra Kumar at the entrance. The temple priests blessed the Yadav couple in the sanctum sanctorum of the temple.

Mr Kumar later presented portrait of Goddess Durga, the temple prasadam, laddu and a silk garment (‘seshavastram’) to the DGP.

Due to elaborate security arrangements made by the police in the temple, pilgrims were stranded in long queues for about 90 minutes.

Many devotees who turned restive, expressed their anger against the temple authorities for not allowing them to go on with the darshan.
