Tirumala, November 11: P Seshadri, popularly known as `dollar Seshadri’, Officer on Special Duty (OSD) at Tirumala temple did not attend to his duties today.
“I came to know that there is a PIL against my appointment as the temple OSD. But, I have not received any information from the TTD officials in this regard. But I am not attending duty,’’ he said.
“I will obey the orders of the TTD Trust Board. In fact, I never asked the Board or any TTD official to extend my service. The Board asked me to continue and hence I am rendering my services,’’ he clarified.
According to sources, the TTD management is planning to file a counter affidavit against the PIL proceedings.
The Board feels that Seshadri’s appointment was not a political one and that temple services should be treated as emergency services and Seshadri’s presence is a must to run the day-today services at Tirumala.
