Revanth Reddy directed officials to study the land allocation policy followed by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) and adopt suitable practices at Yadagirigutta. He said the temple administration should ensure transparency and consistency while allotting land to religious and charitable institutions.
The Chief Minister also instructed officials to allot land to the Hare Rama Hare Krishna Charitable Foundation at the prevailing market price. He said the process should strictly follow government norms and ensure accountability.
Furthermore, he asked officials to prepare a list of individuals and organizations willing to construct guest houses on the temple hill.
