Varahi media.com online news,Tirumala, 30 December 2024: TTD Additional Executive Officer (EO), Sri Ch. Venkaiah Chowdary, conducted a joint meeting on Monday evening with TTD officials and police to review the traffic management arrangements for the upcoming ten-day Vaikuntha Dwara Darshanam, scheduled from January 10-19 in Tirumala.
In the meeting, which was held at Annamaiah Bhavan in Tirumala, Sri Venkaiah Chowdary, along with TTD CVSO Sri Sridhar and District SP Sri Subbarayudu, instructed the officials to coordinate with their respective teams to ensure smooth management of vehicular traffic and adequate parking facilities, particularly on the days of Vaikuntha Ekadasi and Vaikuntha Dwadasi.
The Additional EO emphasized the need for wide publicity to inform the public about the regulations. He directed that continuous announcements be made via radio, broadcasting, social media, press conferences, SVBC promos, and signages to alert pilgrims that only those with valid Darshan Tokens or Tickets, as per their specified date and time, will be allowed to participate in the Vaikuntha Dwara Darshan during the ten-day period.
He further clarified that devotees must enter the Darshan lines only on the specified days and time slots mentioned on their tokens or tickets, in order to avoid long waiting hours.
To avoid congestion, the Additional EO recommended decentralizing parking slots and instructed the preparation of an action plan for managing around 13,000 vehicles. He also directed that more buggies be provided at Rambhageecha Rest House and that parking be arranged outside RBRH, similar to the Garuda Seva arrangements.
The Additional EO also stressed the importance of ensuring proper security for the event, suggesting the use of the Octopus team as necessary, in collaboration with the local police force.
TTD CE Sri Satyanarayana, along with other police and TTD officials, was present at the meeting.
