Samuhika Shramadanam Program on 13th May - TTD Eo

After the stupendous success of the Sundara Tirumala-Suddha Tirumala mass cleaning programme by TTD employees in Tirumala, Samuhika Shramadanam is fixed on May 13 to make Tirumala a plastic-free environment with employees, said TTD EO Sri AV Dharma Reddy.

During a meeting held with all HoDs of TTD, Principals, Medical Superintendents along with District Collector Sri Venkatramana Reddy and SP Sri Parameshwar Reddy at Seva Sadan 2 in Tirumala on Monday evening, the EO thanked all the employees for their team spirit in executing cleaning and sanitation works in the last two days.

With the same spirit, the EO called upon the HoDs and employees to gear up to make both ghat roads and footpath routes of Tirumala plastic free. ''Let us all participate in a four-hour long Samuhika Shramadanam to clear the plastic waste. On both Ghats nearly 500 and footpath routes nearly 1000 employees will render services on that day", he maintained.

He also said a lot of sulabh workers have joined back their duties on Monday and almost everyone will return in next couple of days. "But this Shramadana Yagna will continue every month as it has received overwhelming support across the country and TTD has become a role model. So we should take forward the Swachch slogan pioneered by Mahatma Gandhi by cleaning premises in Tirumala on our own once in a month", he reiterated.

The Suddha Tirumala movement has instilled inspiration among devotees also who are approaching TTD to provide them a chance to clean the precincts, he maintained.

Later all the district top brass officials spoke on the occasion besides media representatives who also participated in the Suddha Tirumala voluntarily.

JEOs Smt Sada Bhargavi, Sri Veerabrahmam, Joint Collector Sri Balaji, TMC Commissioner Smt Harita, all HoDs of TTD, Principals, Medical Superintendents were also present.
