Of this, the State government will be releasing ₹70 crore, and the remaining ₹125 crore will be borne by the Sri Durga Malleswara Swamyvarla Devasthanam board.
At a review meeting at the Secretariat on Tuesday, he said that works worth ₹14.70 crore were already completed. Prasadam potu and annadanam complex would be constructed at a cost of ₹55 crore, for which administrative approval and technical sanctions were already given and tenders would be invited shortly.
A multi-level queue complex, and a bridge from the queue complex to the annadanam complex were among the works planned.
