TTD Employees Take Pledge to Keep Tirumala Environs Clean adn Hygiene

 The slogan, "Sundara Tirumala-Suddha Tirumala"  will henceforth be observed every month involving the strong workforce of TTD keeping the Tirumala environs clean, green and hygiene for the sake of the multitude of visiting devotees, said TTD EO Sri AV Dharma Reddy.

Addressing the TTD employees who are deputed to perform Shramadan (voluntary cleaning service) along with Srivari Sevaks at different parts in Tirumala at Asthana Mandapam on Monday the EO said, TTD is not a corporate institution or any industry to close the doors if someone goes on a lightning strike without prior notice and will never yield to such blackmailing tactics.

"Be the officers, or employees or sanitary staff,  all our salaries are being paid by the offerings made by the devotees coming from different parts of the country and across the globe in Srivari Hundi. Everyone should keep in mind that devotees and pilgrims are our "Pratyaksha Daivam ''(visible divine) and it becomes our foremost responsibility to serve them with dedication. I really appreciate the services of the workforce of TTD who joined hands and rose up to the situation during the time of crisis without causing any hindrance to devotee services, he asserted.

The EO also said, "The Father of Nation-Mahatma Gandhi" stood a role model for "Swachchta" and he always cleaned the premises himself, hence today the logo of Swachch Bharat is the spects of Mahatma. Taking this inspiration, henceforth, every employee should work for a day in a month in the Sundara Tirumala -Suddha Tirumala programme", he maintained.

Later a pledge was administered on Sundara Tirumala-Suddha Tirumala.
