According to sources from India Today, the woman, identified as Umarani from Bengaluru, suffered a spinal cord injury from the incident at Tirumala. She is currently receiving intensive medical treatment, with her condition closely monitored by medical staff to ensure her recovery. Identified as Umarani, the devotee from Bengaluru, had visited Tirumala with her family to seek darshan at the Lord Venkateswara Swamy temple, and they also planned to visit the Hanuman Temple at Japali Theertham.
This unfortunate incident has sparked concerns regarding the safety protocols within the temple complex, prompting a review of existing measures.
In another incident last year, Chandravathi, a 70-year-old woman from Mandara, demonstrated a remarkable presence of mind that prevented a potential train mishap near her home. On March 21 around 2:10 pm, Chandravathi noticed a tree had fallen onto the railway track between Padil and Jokatte. Aware that the Matsyagandha Express from Mangaluru to Mumbai was scheduled to pass through, she swiftly retrieved a red cloth from her house and waved it to alert the approaching train’s locomotive pilot.

Responding to her signal, the alert pilot immediately slowed down the train, stopping it just in time before reaching the obstruction on the track. Railway personnel and locals then arrived to clear the fallen tree from the track, ensuring safety and resuming normal train operations.
For her quick thinking and heroic action, Chandravathi was honored at a ceremony hosted by Railway police, attended by senior officials who praised her courage and quick response in averting a potential disaster.
