EO Directs Timely Completion of Infrastructure Projects
TTD Executive Officer Shyamala Rao conducted a review meeting at the administrative building, along with Additional EO Venkatiah Chowdary, to assess the progress of ongoing infrastructure projects aimed at improving facilities for devotees. The EO instructed engineering officials to ensure that all construction works are completed within the stipulated timelines and called for regular monitoring and reporting to avoid delays.
He also directed officials to strengthen measures against the activities of middlemen, the sale of fake tickets, and any form of corruption in service ticket allocations. Emphasising improved security and pilgrim services, the EO called for the expansion of the checking point at Alipiri Toll Plaza, the installation of advanced surveillance systems, vehicle and luggage scanners, and an overall security upgrade.
