TTD Board Gives NOD to Several Development Works

  "Cancelling L1, L2, L3 categorisation and changing the VIP Break darshan timings to late morning hours, allowing common pilgrims to have darshan by reducing their waiting time in queues and compartments is the most satisfying decision in my four-year term as TTD Trust Board Chairman, said Sri YV Subba Reddy.

Sri YV Subba Reddy was appointed as TTD Chairman for two consecutive terms. In his four years tenure as TTD Chairman, several pilgrim-friendly initiatives and development works were taken up. 

 

During the media briefing held after the Board meeting at Annamaiah Bhavan, Sri Subba Reddy expressed that of the many historical decisions his board has taken during his tenure, providing hassle-free darshan to more number of pilgrims is what he considers the most satisfying decision. 

He thanked the TTD EO Sri AV Dharma Reddy, workforce of TTD for supporting his decisions and carrying them out in a successful manner to the satisfaction of the pilgrims.
