Venkatadri app will offer complete information to devotees: TTD IT chief

Tirumala: The newly-launched Venkatadri app is intended to provide devotees with comprehensive information on Tirumala services in a concise and user-friendly format, said general manager of TTD IT wing Venkateswarlu Naidu. Briefing media persons on IT wing activities here on Tuesday he said TTD has extensively leveraged information technology to enhance the Srivari darshan experience through its AI-driven Command Control Centre. TTD proposes to further strengthen traffic management at the Alipiri check-point by introducing an automated number-plate verification system.

In addition, a QR-code-based verification system has been enabled for gallery passes issued during the ongoing Brahmotsavams.

Clarifying concerns circulating on social media over the booking of Rs 300 Special Entry Darshan (SED) tickets, Naidu explained that the online quota was limited, while demand was nearly 10 times higher.

He reiterated that TTD has been consistently identifying and blocking third-party websites that use automated form-filling and copy-paste tools to generate fake SED tickets. Such fraudulent operations are being regularly detected, blocked and banned, he maintained.

He affirmed that TTD has deployed robust and reliable technology to facilitate devotees. Devotees facing any difficulty or requiring clarification may contact the TTD helpline for assistance.
