SYSTEMS IN TTD CHANGES FROM TIME TO TIME IN THE LARGER INTERESTS OF THE DEVOTEES-TTD EO
TIRUMALA, OCTOBER 03, 2025: The devotees across the country poured in appreciation on TTD towards the successful conduct of annual brahmotsavams that concluded on Thursday and also congratulated TTD EO Anil Kumar Singhal on his second time in the capacity.
The monthly Dial your EO was conducted at Annamayya Bhavan in Tirumala on Friday. In total, 23 pilgrim callers have given their feedback to the TTD EO on various issues, including Darshan, accommodation, Srivari Seva, online booking, lucky dip system and other activities.
Before receiving the calls from the devotees, the EO also extended his heartfelt thanks to each one who congratulated him on assuming the charges as TTD EO for the second time. “Your credibility in me has enhanced my responsibility. I wholeheartedly thank Sri Venkateswara Swamy for this divine opportunity to serve you all in the capacity of EO for the second time in TTD and also the Honourable CM of AP N Chandrababu Naidu for his trust in me”, he asserted.
Attributing the mega success of the recently concluded annual brahmotsavams in Tirumala to the teamwork of the entire workforce of TTD, co-operation of district administration and police, Srivari Sevaks, and above all the devotion of devotees, he thanked the TTD board, media and everyone involved behind the stupendous success.
The EO also stated that changes in TTD are a continuous process and decisions regarding darshan, accommodation, and other facilities change from time to time, depending on the situation. “Five years ago, when I was the then EO, the offline system of issuing tickets to Senior Citizens, Rs 300 SED were good for that time. But now, even for issuing 800 tickets of SRIVANI offline, we have been witnessing serpentine lines and over six hours of waiting time for the devotees. Once the quota is exhausted, many pilgrims return with empty hands without darshan. To avoid this inconvenience, we introduced an online system a few years ago. Our intention always stays good. Based on the feedback from devotees through mails, phone calls, WhatsApp and other platforms, our decisions change from time to time. No system is static and there is every scope for change, keeping in view the larger interests of the devotees from time to time”, he reiterated. CV & SO Murali Krishna, CE Satyanarayana and other officers were present.
