TTD to accept recommendation letters from Telangana public representatives

The announcement comes following AP CM N. Chandrababu Naidu's directions to the board on considering the recommendation letters from Telangana public representatives for VIP darshans at the shrine

Hyderabad: Amid a row over Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) officials not accepting the darshan requisition letters from public representatives (MLAs & MPs) of Telangana, the board has announced that devotees furnishing the recommendation letters will be allowed VIP darshan from March 24.

Devotees relying on letters for VIP break darshan of Lord Sri Venkateshwara Swamy at Tirumala, will be allowed into the shrine only on Monday and Tuesday every week henceforth. Devotees with the recommendation letter for the Rs. 300 special entry darshan will be allowed on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

It may be noted that only one recommendation letter per day will be considered on the designated days of the week. A maximum of six devotees will be allowed per letter.

The announcement comes following Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s directions to the board on considering the recommendation letters from Telangana public representatives for VIP darshans at the shrine.

Earlier devotees from Telangana have complained that TTD authorities kept denying receiving any recommendation letters.
