TTD to Introduce Automated Number-Plate Verification at Alipiri
Briefing the media on the IT wing’s activities at the Media Centre in Rambagicha-2 here, he said TTD had launched the Venkatadri App to provide devotees with comprehensive information on services at Tirumala through a user-friendly digital platform.
The temple administration was also leveraging information technology, including an artificial intelligence-driven Command and Control Centre, to improve the Srivari Darshan experience, he said.
A QR code-based verification system had been introduced for gallery passes issued during the ongoing Srivari Navaratri Brahmotsavams to strengthen verification procedures, Naidu added.
Addressing concerns circulating on social media over the booking of Rs. 300 Special Entry Darshan (SED) tickets, he said the online quota was limited, while demand was nearly 10 times higher.
TTD was regularly identifying and blocking third-party websites allegedly using automated form-filling and copy-paste tools to generate fake SED tickets. Such fraudulent operations were being detected and the websites blocked or banned, he said.
Naidu said TTD was continuing to strengthen its digital infrastructure to improve services for devotees and enhance the security and reliability of online systems. Devotees facing difficulties or seeking clarification could contact the TTD helpline for assistance, he added.
