Speaking to the media on the occasion, Additional EO Ch. Venkaiah Chowdary said the response from devotees to the shifting of the Srivari Mettu DD token centre from Srivari Mettu to Alipiri Bhudevi Complex is immense. He said that setting up counters at the Srinivasa Mangapuram temple requires permission from the Archaeological Survey of India(ASI), which is being awaited.
As the process takes some time, to facilitate pilgrims, the token counters have been shifted to Bhudevi Complex, where there is full infrastructure and manpower, as we have been issuing SSD tokens there for a long time.
Four separate counters have been arranged to issue Srivari Mettu DD tokens, and the devotees are also expressing immense pleasure over the arrangements by TTD, he maintained.
Adding further, the Additional EO also said, the public transport system is well established, and the bus stand is also there in Alipiri. So it will be convenient for the devotees to reach Srivari Mettu, he observed.
TTD has made elaborate arrangements to issue DD tokens to devotees in a hassle-free manner by deputing administrative, vigilance, and additional sanitary staff, besides Srivari Seva volunteers to offer services to the devotees. JEO V Veerabrahmam, CV&SO KV Muralikrishna and other officers, staff were also present.
