Tirumala: The TTD Vigilance and Security wing has geared up to make fool-proof security arrangements to pilgrims during the ensuing Radhasapthami scheduled to take place on January 24 in Tirumala, said TTD Chief Vigilance and Security Officer (CVSO) A Ravikrishna.
Speaking to media at Command Control Room in Tirumala on Friday, the CVSO said 600 vigilance and security personnel have been deployed to exclusively monitor the Radhasapthami arrangements.
The top cop said Face Tagger, a tech company which makes security app, has come forward to train 200 sleuths in ‘Face Recognition App’ in tracing the unscrupulous elements involved in black marketing of laddus, darshan tickets, accommodation, thefts and crimes with the help of app.
He said that initially they will train the sleuths free of cost on trial basis for three months. Based on response, we will plan a long-term programme, he added. Apart from this, the CCTV phase 1 installation works will be completed by February first week, the CVSO said.
In view of previous experiences, this time, there will be separate vigil in all the galleries to check the problems being encountered by the pilgrims during Vahana Sevas on Radhasapthami day, he said.
“We will allow pilgrims to enter galleries through 11 gates. Our aim is to ensure safety and convenient darshan to pilgrims during the mega religious fete," he asserted. VGOs Ravindra Reddy and Sada Lakshmi, AVSOs and VIs were present.
