The TTD EO said, at present around 50 counters are functioning round the clock to issue laddu prasadam to devotees at Laddu Complex. To avoid the waiting time for pilgrims at Laddu Complex, 30 more counters would be set up soon”, he maintained.
But the quality of the Laddus is going down. There is no aroma and sugar grains are sprinkled in the laddu. There no dry fruits at all. Laddus are sold like sweets across the counter and there is no sanctity.
