TTD Takes Special Measures for Pilgrims’ Comfort During Summer in Tirumala

Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) is implementing special measures to ensure the comfort of devotees visiting Tirumala during the summer season. With the expected increase in pilgrim footfall due to summer vacations, TTD Additional Executive Officer C.H. Venkataiah Chowdary has directed officials to take precautionary steps, including the application of "cool paint" in high-traffic areas to reduce heat impact.

On Friday, a review meeting was held at Annamayya Bhavan in Tirumala, where officials discussed necessary measures for managing the summer rush. As part of the plan, cool paint will be applied in key locations such as Akkagarla Temple on First Ghat Road, Sri Vari Sadan, and other crowded areas in Tirumala. Additionally, the TTD has instructed officials to ensure an uninterrupted power supply to avoid inconvenience to pilgrims.

Further, officials were directed to maintain adequate stocks of laddu prasadam and keep sufficient Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) packets available for devotees. Engineering teams were instructed to ensure a continuous water supply to all key areas where pilgrims gather. The meeting was attended by Deputy Executive Officers Lokanatham, Rajendra, and Bhaskar, Transport General Manager Seshareddy, and Vigilance Officers Ram Kumar and Surendra.
