He instructed officials to apply cool paint in key areas such as Akkagarla Temple on the First Ghat Road, Sri Vari Sadan, and other crowded locations in Tirumala.

Additionally, he emphasized the importance of ensuring uninterrupted electricity supply to prevent inconvenience to pilgrims. He also directed officials to maintain an adequate stock of laddu prasadam and advised medical personnel to keep sufficient Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) packets available for devotees.
