NTR Jr not to visit NTR Ghat tomorrow

Every year on the birth and death anniversary of late NT Rama Rao, his grandsons NTR Jr and Kalyan Ram pay rich tributes at the NTR Ghat in Hyderabad. They make sure to visit the ghat early in the morning and garland the Samadhi. However, this year the Nandamuri brothers will pay tributes to their grandfather at their home. They will not visit the ghat due to the threat of the Coronavirus outbreak and the government’s safety guidelines.

To avoid large gatherings, they have decided against visiting the ghat.

May 28 is NT Rama Rao’s birth anniversary.

The Nandamuri brothers issued a statement: “In the interest of public safety, NTR & Kalyan Ram will not be visiting the NTR Ghat tomorrow. They will be offering their respects & prayers to Swargeeya Nandamuri Taraka Ramarao Garu at home. This is to prevent the gathering of crowds which is against govt Covid19 lockdown norms.”
