Staff Reporter

TIRUMALA: TTD Executive Officer K.V. Ramanachary said on Friday that the management will look into the feasibility of providing ‘privilege’ to the physically challenged and aged devotees at its Nitya Annadanam complex.

Reacting to a suggestion from Narasimhulu Chetty, a native of Puttur, during ‘Dial TTD EO’ programme, Ramanachary said that the suggestion is welcome and will be examined.

Meanwhile, Indrani of Bapatla urged the management to provide supporting steel rods on the footpath leading to Tirumala between Gali Gopuram and Hanuman statue, situated half way to Tirumala.

Drakshayini of Machilipatnam requested for setting up of a separate cottage allotment counter at Tirumala for the benefit of trekking devotees.

Eye donation

Another devotee, Tata Venkataswamy, urged the management to take up intensive drive in creating awareness among the devotees about ‘eye donation’ in its Sapthagiri magazine.

Among the other callers, few of them urged the management to extend both the e-darshan and online booking of darshan tickets in their respective areas.
