Stend Action Against Shop Keepers if Expiry Goods Sold - TTD EO

TIRUMALA, 6 February 2017:  The TTD EO Dr D Sambasiva Rao warned of stern action against those shop keepers in Tirumala who sell expiry goods and medicines to pilgrims.

During the weekly review meeting on developmental activities of various departments, the EO sounded harsh on those shop keepers who are selling outdated eatables, cool drinks, mineral water and even medicines. "The Health and Vigilance departments should first give a strict warning with penalty and if the same is repeated by the shop keeper his licence should be cancelled", he maintained.

He later instructed the engineering wing to find out a suitable place for constructing Sarva Darshanam complex soon on the lines of Rs.300 and footpath complexes.
