Tirumala: Srivari darshan in three hours..

cancellation of the lease of Saradapeetham in Tirumala,
removal of the quota of the tourism department. 

,Tirupati; Newstoday, Tirumala: ‘Apart from special festivals, it takes 20-30 hours for the common man to have a Sarvadarshan of Tirumala Srivenkateswara Swami on many occasions. With the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI), steps will be taken to provide darshan within two to three hours. For this we will contact IIM and arrange a special consultancy. We will work with the aim of reducing the viewing time,’ said B.R. Naidu, Chairman of Thithide Board of Trustees. The first meeting of the new council was held at Annamayya Building in Tirumala on Monday. Members Suchitra Ella, Narsireddy, MS Babu, Bhanuprakash Reddy, Panabaka Lakshmi, Tithide ex-officio member J. Shyamala Rao, Additional EO Venkaiah Chaudhary, JEOs Veerabraham, Gauthami and others participated. Chairman Naidu disclosed the decisions of the board to the media. The details are in his own words.

• The expert committee concluded that the norms were completely violated in the construction of Visakha Sarada Peetham building in Tirumala. We will cancel its lease and take possession of the building. We will demolish if necessary. 
• In Alipiri, they wanted to build a spiritual temple named Devlok on 20 acres previously allotted to the tourism department by the TDP government. During the reign of Vaikapa, the land was given for the construction of Mumtaz Hotel. Such hotels are not allowed in this area which is associated with the sentiments of devotees. We request the government to hand over that place to Titi.
• Let us discuss the issue of taking VRS by pagans in Thitide. If they do not agree, we will report to the government to transfer them to the municipal or other departments. Strict action will be taken if paganism is propagated in Tirumala. We have already filed cases against many people. 
• Devotees and leaders should not make political speeches in Tirumala. Cases will be filed against those who violate the rules.
• People have misconceptions about the use of Srivani Trust funds. Let’s delete that name and add another one. Funds are currently being deposited in two accounts. As per expert advice, we will make changes to deposit under one account. 
• Apart from improving the quality of Annaprasad, we also provide another substance to the devotees. We will form a committee with experts to procure quality ghee for laddu prasad.
• We have canceled the quota of 4,000 SED tickets allocated daily by the tourism department to many states under Thithide’s leadership. During the vigilance investigation we found that some people are misusing these tickets. 
• We will contact the auditors to deposit the same money deposited in private banks in government banks.
• Some asked to change the timings of VIP break darshans. We will take appropriate action on this. We will consider the proposal to resume broadcasting of Swami’s services in Prasar Bharati.
