Imagine the plight of a group of senior citizens, eager to visit Thirupati temple, only to find themselves stuck in a long, overwhelming queue. Most of the pilgrims are aged between 60-80, navigating through such a crowd is nothing short of an ordeal. Recently, five to six senior devotees met with a tragedy due to this crowd rush. Such a situation could have been avoided if the previous system of online bus ticketing was in operation.

Up until recently, the temple's online ticketing system was a boon for many visitors. It was a suitable plan that helped to manage the influx of visitors while ensuring a smooth and hassle-free process for older visitors. However, the recent suspension of this online system has led to chaos, inconvenience, and unfortunately, loss of lives.

Fair and efficient, the online ticketing system needs to be resumed to secure the safety and convenience of all devotees visiting Thirupati temple. This change is not merely one of convenience but a necessity to ensure that pilgrims, particularly the elderly, aren't adversely affected.

It's time to take a stand for the devotees of Thirupati. Let's advocate for the resumption of the online bus ticketing service. Sign this petition today.
