The pilgrims are overflowing on the Hill shrine of Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam. The management under Chairman Subbareddy has miserably failed in assessing and expecting the situation.
All the sections of the Q complex are filled and the public are overflowing onto the streets. The TTD is allowing pilgrims for darshan without any tickets.
This is attracting more pilgrims to the hills. Pilgrims are being allowed into the complexes after two years. Pilgrims can come for darshan even without having any coupons.
But they are facing hardships for food, water and also accommodation. There are reports that the pilgrims are sleeping on the streets. It is taking more than 24 hours for Lord Balaji Darshan.
The street side eateries are doing good business for the last two days on Tirumala. The TTD has closed many big and good hotels demanding huge rentals.
The TTD will not able to provide free food to all the pilgrims. They are trying to provide water and some food to the pilgrims now. Dharma Reddy the officer is looking into the issue of the overflow of the pilgrims.
But Subba Reddy the Chairman has not made any statement about the prevailing situation. Now there is no VIP break darshan for the next two days.
