Tirumala, August 1, 2013: The temple town of Lord Venkateswara on Wednesday remained unaffected with the organisers of the Samaikhyandhra agitation exempting it from the bandh call. Buses and taxis ferried normally between the Tirumala ghat roads without causing any inconvenience to the visiting devotees. How ever the town comparatively registered a low turnout of pilgrim crowd.
