TIRUMALA, MARCH 11, 2024: TTD Chairman Bhumana Karunakar Reddy said that the board has given opportunity to the former members of the TTD Board to have darshan of Srivaru with their family members (wife, children, mother and father alone) only for a few times in a year.
However, he said, some of the former board members are often seen violating this rule by bringing others along with them other than their family members for darshan of Srivaru frequently.
