TIRUPATI: TTD chairman YV Subbareddy has said that there will be a change in darshan system at Tirumala temple soon.
The decision would be announced after holding discussions with the trust board and the State government before the end of the lockdown, he added.

Speaking to the media, the TTD chief stressed the need of following social distancing while having Srivari darshan in future as part of precautionary measure to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
“The board will discuss the steps to be taken for providing Srivari darshan to the devotees. TTD has taken up Dhanvantari Yagam and other rituals to prevent the spread of virus.
"Steps will be taken to resolve the issues of TTD contract employees,” Subbareddy explained. He appealed to the people to stay at home to prevent the spread of virus.
