However this famous ritual will not be held from the next year. DCP Kamalasan Reddy making the shocking announcement said every year several devotees were getting injured in the stampede during the laddu distribution. He said he will ask the organisers to stop this ritual from the next year.
It is known that even today many were injured not only due to stampede but also due to police lathicharge after huge crowd tried to push each other to get the prasad. Organisers seeing so much unrest and lack of proper arrangements had to stop the distribution for some time. 6000kg Laddu everyyear was specially prepared at Tapsewaram, East Godavari district. Organisers distribute half of it to devotees and send the remaining to Tapsewaram.
