Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Executive Officer A.V. Dharma Reddy said that logistics are being worked out for the resumption of Slotted Sarva Darshan (SSD) tokens after the summer vacations when there will be a decrease in the pilgrim crowd.
Anchoring the Dial TTD EO public interactive programme on Friday, he said the issuance of SSD tokens, particularly on crowded days, always proved to be a challenging task with the darshan slots jumping over to the next day and pilgrims resorting to protests when they are asked to stay back in Tirupati. Likewise, if they are allowed to travel up to the town without any tokens they are again subjected to difficulties as the waiting time for darshan stretches beyond 15 to 20 hours.
