 The monthly Dial your EO programme was held at Annamaiah Bhavan in Tirumala on Sunday.

 

TTD EO Sri AV Dharma Reddy received feedback from 18 different pilgrim callers from across the country in this live phone-in programme. Some excerpts:

 

When a pilgrim caller Sri Sadasivudu from Warangal sought EO to consider cash payments in stead of UPI for rural devotees, the EO replied him TTD has introduced UPI payments for more transparency. "Even the Government of India is also encouraging cashless transactions", he answered.

 

Another pilgrim caller from Dubai Sri Haribabu suggested EO to enhance vigil as many prohibited items like cigarette packets, pan were seen in toilets at Tirumala during his last visit.

Answering the caller the EO said, we will definitely enhance the vigil. But it is also the duty of every devotee of Srivaru to adhere to TTD norms. To protect the sanctity of Tirumala TTD has formulated certain norms which includes the Do's and Don'ts, carrying of certain prohibited items etc. Devotees also should extend their co-operation", he maintained.

 

A caller Smt Rajeswari from Proddutur sought EO to issue Divya Darshan tokens at Galigopuram to which EO replied it is not possible as that might result in stampede due to convergence of large number of devotees.

Even our predecessors have also tried in vain as it is a very sensitive issue", he asserted.
