SCPCR to look into safety of children on Tirumala footpath on Sept. 14, 15

The State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCR) will inspect the footway to Tirumala on September 14 and 15, in the wake of leopards attacking two children in the last three months.

SCPCR Chairman Kesali Appa Rao, along with members G. Seetaram, T. Adi Lakshmi and B. Padmavathi, will inquire into the security measures implemented for children along the trekking route.

A leopard attacked a boy named Koushik on June 22. In another incident, a leopard mauled a girl, Lakshita, to death on the pathway on August 12 this year.
