Tirupati Airport will soon have a ceremonial lounge

There will soon be a Ceremonial Lounge at Tirupati Airport as the Union Cabinet has recently approved the allotment of 1800 sq mt of land belonging to the Airports Authority of India (AAI) to Andhra Pradesh Education and Welfare Infrastructure Development Corporation (APEWIDC).
As per a press release, the Union Cabinet allocated the land for a period of 15 years at a marginal rate of license fee of INR 1 per annum to build the Ceremonial Lounge at Tirupati Airport. The same was chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Tirupati is one of India's topmost pilgrimage sites. It is dedicated to Lord Venkateswara, an aspect of Lord Vishnu. It is often visited by high profile officials and dignitaries of India other than a massive number of pilgrims. The purpose behind making a Ceremonial Lounge is to provide more comfort and amenities to the pilgrims and visitors.

Tirupati is also one of the richest holy shrines in India where ample gold and money is offered by the devotees to Lord Venkateswara.
