In the wake of the attack by wild beasts especially targetting children, TTD has taken two important decisions which came into force. The TTD is all set to discourage people from using the steps route that is from Alipiri by reducing the darshan tokens.
Instead, it will increase the quota of regular free darshan by 15OOO so that the people will not come to Alipiri for the free darshan tickets.
The movement of leopards have been sighted at five places that includes three places near Alipiri to Galigopuram, at Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy(LNS) temple and at the 38th Turning last night.
I TTD has decided to allow pilgrims with children aged below 15years from 5am to 2pm only to trek on both the footpath routes and this change came into force from Sunday itself.
In another important decision, the movement of the two-wheelers, have also been stalled from 6pm to 6am.
TTD Chairman B Karunakara Reddy will hold a high-level meeting with the TTD EO, District Collector, SP at SP Rest House in Tirupati to discuss on the measures to be taken in view of the safety of the pilgrims in both the footpath routes and Ghat roads today.
TTD has appealed to the devotees to extend their co-operation in following the guidelines taken by TTD keeping in view the larger interests of the pilgrim devotees till the issue of wild beasts is resolved.
