Tirumala, August 28, 2013: A whopping 3000 employees of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) are expected to go on mass leave on Friday in support of the ongoing agitation. According to T. Ravi, general secretary of TTD Senior Officers’ Association, they will take out a ‘Sadbhavana Santhi Rally’ in the streets of Tirupati.

The employees at the temple and reception (accommodation) will however continue to discharge their duties, so as not to inconvenience the devotees.
