TIRUPATI: In the wake of increasing incidents of proselytisation on the sacred Tirumala Hills, the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), is making serious attempts to curb the same by using all possible options. After shifting the TTD employees belonging to other religions other than Hindus down the Hills, the TTD now wrote a letter to the Special Protection Force (SPF) not to post any of its employees belonging to other religions to serve in TTD, it is learnt.
Though there is a ban on propagation of other religious activities on the hill shrine for a long time, the Hills are witnessing the same incidents, time and again.
To overcome the problem, the TTD first began revamping its own administration by shifting employees of other religions working on Tirumala to other departments based in Tirupati. And, now, it extended the same idea to other departments and sent a requisition to SPF officials not to depute police personnel belonging to other religions on Tirumala.
“Though we are not suspicious that those employees from other religions support proselytisation on the Hills, we wrote a letter to SPF authorities to request them not to depute other religious persons to TTD for not giving scope for any such instances in the future,’’ said a TTD official.
