He said the TTD board has been succeeded in providing darshan with ease for the common devotees.

He said that historic decisions and changes were brought in Tirumala and implemented. YV Subba Reddy recalled that the darshans had been minimised at a time when the people were in trouble due to the coronavirus epidemic. He said that steps have been taken to completely ban plastic in Tirumala and protect the environment.

The TTD chairman said that electric vehicles will be used instead of diesel vehicles to control air pollution. He said steps were being taken to ensure that devotees coming from Tirupati to Tirumala travel in electric vehicles. He explained that the grains harvested based on organic farming were used to prepare prasadam in ancient days and the same policy is being implemented for the last 100 days.
