Muslim man donates truck to carry vegetable to Tirupati temple

Vijayawada: A Muslim man from Chennai has donated a refrigerator truck to the famous Tirupati temple for transporting vegetables.

The vehicle, worth Rs. 35 lakh, was flagged off by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu earlier on Monday.

The truck, with a capacity of eight tonnes, was donated by Abdul Gani, and will be used for transporting vegetables to the shrine for its "Nitya Annadan (food donation)" scheme.

The vegetables for the scheme have been donated by Mandava Kutumba Rao and his family members since 2007.
