If things go as planned by the Jammu and Kashmir administration, the Union Territory would soon be giving away 100 acres to the Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanams (TTD) so that it can construct a replica of the famous Tirumala temple in J&K. The 100-acre land is likely to be allotted along the Jammu-Katra highway, The Hindu said in a report. According to the newspaper, the trust is eyeing to complete the temple construction within two years and the J&K administration has “agreed in principle” to allot the land.

Besides the temple, the 100-acre complex will also house a Vedic school and a hospital. “Two sites were identified as suitable for constructing the temple,” the report said attributing the comment to Parliamentarian V Vijaya Sai Reddy, who led the delegation of the TTD Board. The two sites are Dhummi and Majin in J&K’s Jammu district. The delegation reportedly held discussion with officials of the J&K administration following instructions from Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy.
