Committee with Senior Officers on Sanitation

Maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness of the entire premises of Tirumala is one of the top most priorities of TTD, asserted TTD EO Sri J Syamala Rao.

The EO held a detailed review meeting with the Health Department of TTD along with JEOs Smt Goutami and Sri Veerabrahmam at Gokulam Rest House in Tirumala on Monday.

He discussed on various issues related to manpower, sanitary materials, staff performance, mechanisation and many others.

Earlier the Sanitary Inspectors informed the EO about various shortcomings which included...

Deficiency in performance due  insufficient manpower in the extended work area. 

Improper supply of sanitary materials on time and supply of sub standard cleaning materials by the Agencies entrusted with sanitation contract.

After listening carefully to the various issues, the EO directed both the JEOs to give stern warning to the contractor and give three days time for improving cleaning measures in Tirumala by providing sufficient manpower and material supply as per norms.

He also ordered JEO to Constitute a Committee with Senior Officers to inspect randomly after three days and give a detailed report on sanitation to take further course of action on the Sanitation Agencies.

"Tirumala, besides being most sought after pilgrim place in the world, also holds the reputation for its clean environs inspite of tens of thousands of footfall everyday. If Tirumala precincts are not kept clean and tidy, it reflects bad image to the institution which cannot be tolerated. All the issues and requirements needed to strengthen the department shall be taken care of by the management but the Health wing officials should ensure effective supervision especially in the areas where pilgrim interface is more", he asserted.

The EO also asked the officials concerned to assess the mapping of area wise and shift wise requirement of workers required in Tirumala and submit the list to address the manpower issues.
