TIRUPATI: Andhra Pradesh CM N Chandrababu Naidu said non-Hindu employees working in Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) will be reassigned to other departments without hurting their sentiments. While reiterating that only Hindus should work at TTD, Naidu said employees of other faiths, and Hindus working in Christian or Muslim organisations will also be relocated. “Religious places should have employees of only that faith,” he said on Friday during a visit to the temple.
Naidu proposed creation of anew trust dedicated to construct Lord Venkateswara Swamy temples in state capitals, and regions with significant Hindu populations globally, with funding from devotees. He announced cancellation of 35 acres of land allocated to Mumtaz Hotels, Devlok hotelsand Emaar in Tirupati to preserve the divine atmosphere of the temple city.
