Coronavirus Impact on Tirumala Darshan
By: Tupaki Desk | 17 March 2020 6:08 AM GMT
Following the spread of COVID-19, the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has come up with a new scheme to fight the deadly virus. TTD declared time-slot tokens for the devotees to see that the Darshan of Lord Balaji gets over within a short time.
With the time-slot tokens, the pilgrims don't need to wait on the serpentine queues and can complete the Darshan without any problem.
"Following the call by the Andhra Pradesh government to initiate steps to check the prevalence of coronavirus we've contemplated some measures," TTD executive officer Anil Kumar Singhal said.
"In the given time slots system, the pilgrims would be allowed for darshan by limiting the numbers. The devotees should bring any ID card such as aadhaar or voter ID or driving licence along with them to get the time-slot tokens for darshan," he added.
The tokens will be issued from today and the pilgrims can sit in the compartments on the special benches which will be installed at the queue complexes so that person-to-person contact can be avoided.
