Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Executive Officer (EO) J. Syamala Rao directed the officials to ensure basic amenities for devotees at the newly set-up SRIVANI ticket issuing counters near Annamayya Bhavan in Tirumala. The counters are scheduled to be opened to the public on July 22.
Mr. Rao, accompanied by Additional EO Ch. Venkataiah Chowdary, on Wednesday, inspected the centre and emphasised the importance of providing refreshments such as tea, coffee, milk, and drinking water to pilgrims waiting at the counters. He stressed the need for the optimum utilisation of digital display screens to effectively communicate with the pilgrims.
He also reviewed the ongoing modernisation works at the ANC and HVC sub-enquiry offices and urged timely completion of the projects. During his inspection at the Food and Water Laboratory, he interacted with the staff to get a first-hand information regarding the testing procedures and urged them to regularly test the food and water samples without any compromise.
