    "URLs not followed
    When we tested a sample of URLs from your Sitemap, we found that some URLs redirect to other locations. We recommend that your Sitemap contain URLs that point to the final destination (the redirect target) instead of redirecting to another URL." and refuse to submit."

    hi Vamsi , According to Google's Web Master Support, 

    Google was unable to follow the redirects from this page completely. Our guidelines suggest that you make every page on your site reachable from at least one static text link, so that we can access these pages easily. Below are some suggestions about using redirects:
    Minimise the number of redirects needed to follow a link from one page to another.Make sure that your redirect timer is set for a relatively short period of time.Avoid using meta refreshes in the <head> statement of your pages.
