Take TTD publications closer to devotees: JEO

Tirupati: TTD Joint Executive Officer (JEO) B Lakshmikantham on Thursday directed the officials to take TTD publications closer to devotees. Speaking after a review meeting with senior officials at TTD administrative building, the JEO said the publication committee has been set up under the chairmanship of SVETA Director to explore prospects of making all TTD publications more attractive and popularise among devotees and readers.

The JEO directed the officials to maintain separate registers in the TTD local temples also for Padi Kavali, donors, and jewels and make frequent entries. All such temples should send officials on deputation for Parakamani duty at Tirumala in order to conduct Parakamani in their temples also. He also asked officials to complete all ongoing civil and electric development works on a war footing.

The JEO lauded the chief editor of Saptagiri magazine Radha Raman for improving the circulation from 1.1 lakh to 2 lakh and urged him to take it to greater heights.
