TTD Has Nothing to Do With Seized Hair
Tirumala, 30 Mar. 21: TTD on Tuesday clarified that the recent seizure of 120 bags of tonsured human hair on the borders of Mizoram-Myanmar by Assam Rifles has nothing to do with TTD.
TTD said all of its stock of tonsured hair donated by devotees as part of their vow is being sold on the e-auction platform to international bidders.
Many temples in the country do carryout sale of human hair offered by devotees. TTD also executes human hair sale on e-platform for every three months and it is a routine process, TTD stated.
TTD hands over the hair stock through e-tenders to the bidders after deducting prescribed GST. Thereafter TTD will not interfere on issues like whether the bidder possessed international export permits or where all they dispose of their stock once it is sold.
TTD has also said that it will blacklist the names of companies if the authorities officially declare them.
