He called upon the officials to complete all the pending works including civil, electrical, mass cleaning etc. within time schedule before Brahmotsavams. Later, speaking to media persons, he said all steps have been taken to ensure that there is no shortage of laddus in Tirumala.
Tirumala: For effective distribution of laddus to pilgrims, the TTD EO Dr D Sambasiva Rao directed the officials concerned to streamline the distribution of laddus to devotees. The TTD EO reviewed the ongoing developmental activities with senior officers of various departments in Tirumala on Tuesday.
He called upon the officials to complete all the pending works including civil, electrical, mass cleaning etc. within time schedule before Brahmotsavams. Later, speaking to media persons, he said all steps have been taken to ensure that there is no shortage of laddus in Tirumala.
We have also instructed the temple wing to see that there is full stock of laddus. We have also given free hand to the officials concerned to get enough manpower to see smooth distribution of laddus. Very soon, we would be holding a meeting with bankers too, who operate laddu counters to improvise our services to pilgrims,” he added.
With an aim to provide laddus to multitude of visiting pilgrims without any inconvenience for the ensuing annual Brahmotsavams in October, the TTD would hold buffer stock of laddus every day during that occasion, said Sambasiva Rao. The EO further said an additional luggage centre is coming up adjacent to the shoe counter of main Kalyanakatta soon.
The PAC 4 was developed in such a way wherein both depositing of luggage and collection is being carried out without any discomfort,” he observed. He also stated that the modifications in main Kalyanakatta (tonsure centre) would benefit devotees with the reduction in waiting hours and providing tonsuring with more comfort,” he added.
The EO said the development of greenery is going on a fast pace for annual fete, Tirumala would blossom with beautiful orchids and flowers. Rao stated the Tilakadharana to devotees by Srivari Sevakulu is garnering positive response from pilgrims. “We would enhance the service and see that the devotees, who go for darshan wear the traditional tilakam,” he added.
