20 persons injured
A big group of folk artistes of Rayachoti gave a dance performance as their leader Kathi Ramalinga Reddy rendered a song “anna, Rajasekhara” as their tribute to YSR. Meanwhile, about 20 persons on way to Idupulapaya sustained injuries when a bus overturned near Muddanur.
The large crowd which turned up at Idupulapaya included physically challenged persons, women, aged persons and children.
Special arrangements
In view of the massive traffic jam last year, the police personnel stopped all vehicles at Vempalle bypass road, about seven kms away and people went to Idupulapaya by special buses arranged at the place designated for vehicle parking.
As people stayed put after paying homage, police had to persuade them to pave way for other visitors.
