NEW DELHI, Nov 19: Union minister G Kishan Reddy on Tuesday welcomed the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams’ decision to allow only Hindus to serve at the Lord Venkateshwar shrine and said non-Hindu employees should be deployed at other places in Andhra Pradesh.
In its first meeting, newly formed Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) board on Monday reportedly passed a resolution that only Hindus will be allowed to serve at the temple and non-Hindu employees recruited by it will either be offered voluntary retirement or be asked to opt for transfer to other government departments.
The board also resolved to write a letter to the Andhra Pradesh government for taking an appropriate decision on its non-Hindu employees, it said in a statement on Monday. (PTI)
