The TTD Chairman said that existing darshan system, including VIP break would be thoroughly examined before coming out with an alternate arrangement which would address the interests of all sections of society.

He also informed that a TTD camp office has been set up in Tadepalli for the benefit of the devotees.

The petitioner had requested the court to permanently withdraw VIP and break darshans at the Tirumala temple. The court directed the TTD standing counsel to file an affidavit and posted the case to Thursday.
