TIRUPATI:
 
 The pontiff of the Udipi Pejawar Mutt, Sri Visweswara Theertha, who 
spearheaded a campaign four months ago against missionary activity at Tirumala, 
on Tuesday interacted with the top brass of the TTD management. The interface 
between the two comes in the wake of a broad consensus reached between them 
four months ago to implement a package in a phased manner to address the 
problem on a permanent footing.
 
The corrective measures taken by the TTD during the last four months came in 
for a close review at the meeting between the swamiji heading the 
`Tirumala-Tirupati Parirakshana Samithi' and the TTD management led by the 
Board Chairman, B. Karunakar Reddy, Executive Officer, A.P.V. Narayana Sarma 
and the Tirumala-based Jt. E.O, Balaramaiah. The TTD team explained the 
tangible measures the TTD had taken during the period which the pontiff and his 
entourage broadly approved. 
 
 
Stress on GO
 
 
 
The points highlighted by the TTD team in course of the review meeting was a 
recommendation made to the Government to issue a G.O bringing all the `seven 
hills' under the purview of the Tirumala temple/TTD. Noting that the G.O was 
still under process the pontiff also suggested that the TTD recommend to the 
Government to declare Tirumala as `Hindu religious township' or `Township of 
Lord Venkateswara' instead of the calling it a mere `Religious township'. 
 
The Chairman told the seer that since the issue was beyond the TTD's powers, it 
would refer the matter to the Government for its decision. The seer was said to 
have insisted on a time-frame for the release of the G.O. 
 
As for the deportation of the non-hindus from Tirumala, the TTD told the panel 
that the question did not arise as there was none and none would be allowed in 
future too.
