Hyderabad: Chief Minister Revanth Reddy reviewed arrangements for the Medaram Jatara at his Jubilee Hills residence. During the meeting, he examined the progress of development works planned for the 2026 Mahajathara, set from January 28 to 31. As crowd numbers continue to rise each season, he said the administration must prepare for heavy footfall and ensure smooth movement at the shrine.
Later, Ministers Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, Konda Surekha and Adluri Laxman briefed him on their departments’ tasks. Advisor Vem Narender Reddy, Chief Secretary Ramakrishna Rao and senior officials also joined the session. Consequently, the Chief Minister reviewed updates on roads, sanitation, transport and key support services. He asked all teams to coordinate closely so that no critical work slows down.

Officials, meanwhile, presented a PowerPoint report on construction and facility upgrades. After reviewing it, Revanth Reddy instructed them to retain the trees near the Sammakka and Saralamma altars because the forest setting forms the shrine’s natural identity. Moreover, he told departments to maintain quality and avoid any scope for criticism. His directions covered lighting, sanitation and access routes for devotees.
Furthermore, the Chief Minister asked teams to prevent water stagnation near the altars. He also ordered floodlights on all four sides to improve visibility throughout the area. In addition, he sought a grand lighting design for the precincts and greener surroundings near the main temple. Departments, therefore, prepared follow-up steps to complete the pending works before the Medaram Jatara.
