F Tollywood Celebrities !!: Lathi-charge on Venkanna devotees


Hyderabad, Dec 12: Near stampedes occurred at all the information centres of the TTD as devotees thronged in large numbers for tickets for the darshan of Lord Venkateswara on the auspicious occasion of Mukkoti Ekadasi. 

As the TTD has announced that tickets would be issued in advance for darshan on Vaikuntha Ekadasi, people rushed to the information centres on Tuesday night itself for the tickets that would be issued next morning. The queue reached the GHMC office from the Liberty centre across the road in Hyderabad. 

In the morning one aged person was said to have fainted in the pushing and jostling. He was rushed to a hospital. Police also made a mild lathi-charge to bring order. It is learnt that when the gates opened in the morning, people pushed each other to be first at the counter and some persons had sustained injuries. 

Devotees are complaining that TTD employees were selling the tickets to their near and dear through the back door. 

The same kind of situation prevailed at all the centres. In Srikakulam devotees have attacked the TTD employees as they became suspicious that tickets were being sold in black.
