Clarification On Allegations By Srivani Donors

On Thursday morning, four devotees who came for SRIVANI Darshan at the Tirumala temple reportedly spoke to the media, alleging delays in the issuance of SRIVANI tickets and non-allotment of quality accommodation to them in Tirumala.

TTD would like to clarify that SRIVANI tickets are issued daily at 8.30 am in Tirumala. Devotees shall arrive at the counter at least one hour before, but the devotees in question reportedly arrived as early at 3.30 am and complained about the delay in ticket allotment and lack of basic amenities, which is inaccurate. As a standard practice, TTD ensures continuous supply of tea, coffee, milk, and buttermilk for devotees waiting in queues, even before the ticket counter opens. (Photographs of these arrangements on July 1, 2, 3 have also been attached herewith which is evident that TTD has been continuously serving milk, beverages, Annaprasadams also to SRIVANI pilgrims.)
