Tirupati: Here is good news to devotees across the country that Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam is ready to allot its Srinivasam and Madhavam Rest Houses in Tirupati city from December 15. After 8 months of Covid-19 outbreak, Chittoor District officials recently handed over the two complexes to TTD. It may be noted that TTD had stopped rooms allotment from the March 1st following the Covid-19 guidelines which were issued by the Government of India. Later TTD handed over these two rest houses to Chittoor District Collector for running covid-19 care centres. Since April ending Chittoor District officials maintained covid-19 care centres and gave admissions to covid-19 patients for treatment.

Around 400 rooms and common rest halls were in Srinivasam as well as 250 deluxe rooms were in Madhavam rest house. After the drastic downfall of the covid-19 cases in the District, both rest houses were handed over to TTD officials by Chittoor District revenue department. More than one-month TTD took up rooms sanitisation activity in those rest houses and that the procedure was completed just one week ago.

After wide discussion with officials concerned TTD EO KS Jawahar Reddy took a decision to resume the rooms allotment again in Srinivasam and Madhavam. On the instructions of TTD EO reception department officials made all the arrangements for rooms allotment online from December 15. Previously TTD had allotted the rooms offline. Now devotees from around the world can book rooms at Srinivasam and Madhavam rest houses online.

In view of Post Covid-19 guidelines, TTD took this decision to alot all the rooms online in near future also.
