Alipiri Roof Works on a Speed Pace - Addl Eo

The ongoing Alipiri Footpath renovation and repair works will be completed on a fast pace said TTD Additional EO Sri AV Dharma Reddy.

Speaking to media persons at Annamaiah Bhavan in Tirumala on Wednesday he said, in view of the Corona pandemic across the country, TTD has released only 5000 tickets of Rs.300 tickets in online for the month of June.

Darshan is getting completed by 8pm and so we are now performing Ekanta Seva to Srivaru for nine hours he said.

The devotees coming on the Footpath route has also considerably decreased and so we felt this is the appropriate time to complete the Alipiri Footpath works since we have closed the route till July. We have opened Srivari mettu for devotees between 6am and 4pm and also arranged free buses from Tirupati Railway station and Alipiri to Srivari Mettu for the sake of devotees who prefer to walk to Tirumala along this footpath route. Necessary security arrangements have also been made along this route, he told.

Once the Corona pandemic reduces, after discussing with Chairman and EO we will decide on increasing or decreasing the Darshan tickets, the Additional EO said.
