December 17, 2025

In a recent development, Justice Gannamaneni Ramakrishna Prasad of the Andhra Pradesh High Court has suggested modernizing the CCTV systems at Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) by incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) for enhanced monitoring. The Honourable Judge also emphasized the need for mechanization in the process of Parakamani, which involves segregating and counting currency notes and coins, currently handled by volunteers and TTD workers.

The call for modernization comes amidst ongoing discussions regarding the efficient management of the religious institution, particularly in terms of security and financial transactions. The integration of AI into CCTV systems could potentially improve surveillance and ensure better safety measures at the sacred site.

In a separate yet related matter, it has been revealed that the initial estimate of the stolen foreign currency in the Parakamani theft case involving CV Ravi Kumar was underestimated. While the exact amount remains undisclosed, this new information underscores the significance of proper management and accountability within the TTD organization.

The recommendations made by Justice Gannamaneni Ramakrishna Prasad are expected to contribute towards improving the overall efficiency and transparency at Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam, a vital religious institution in Andhra Pradesh. The focus on modernization and automation is likely to bring about much-needed reforms and establish better systems for the institution’s management.
