No VIP break darsan on Thursday evenings

TTD management’s decision coms into force with immediate effect

January 30, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 05:44 am IST - Tirumala:

In yet another revolutionary decision TTD Executive Officer D. Sambasiva Rao has annulled the conduct of VIP break darsan on Thursday evenings. The decision which came into force from today is likely to aid the management in clearing 10,000 pilgrims more.

Even though the temple administration with an intention to allocate more darsan hours to the common pilgrims had scrapped away with the VIP break darsan during evenings it nevertheless could not implement the same on Thursdays owing to the pressure from the then board of trustees.

Annadana scheme

Meanwhile, the TTD management is contemplating introducing a new version of Nitya Annadanam scheme for the benefit of devotees. Under the new scheme a donor will be entitled to contribute sufficient amount so as to enable the TTD feed an individual on permanent basis, the TTD Executive Officer told media persons.
