The pilgrim centre had accommodated 14,389 patients since pandemic broke out
Sri Padmavathi Nilayam, which was turned into a COVID Care Centre to house patients when cases were surging and many hospitals were getting overwhelmed, has withdrawn from offering the services, announced Tirupati Urban Development Authority (TUDA) officially on Friday.
The massive building complex abutting the Chennai highway, built by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) to accommodate pilgrims, was later handed over to A.P. Tourism Development Corporation (APTDC) for better management, but was finally taken over by TUDA when COVID struck.
