Dear Honorable Chandrababu Naidu Garu:

Om Namo Sri Venkateshaya!

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) would like to inform you about the illegal construction of the Mumtaz Hotel at the foothills of Seven Hills. Ignoring government laws and government notices, Mumtaz Heritage has been constructing illegal structures in Perur Panchayat Survey No. 604/2 for the last three months.

Your Statements on the sanctity of TTD

GHHF is writing this letter asking you to maintain the sanctity of Tirupati as described in G. O. Ms. 746. You made several statements promising to keep Tirupati a Punya Kshetra.

You stated, “I will begin cleanup of the mess created by Jagan from Tirupati … first priority is to bring back the glory of Tirupati and said Only the sound that should be heard in Tirupati is OM NAMO VENKATESHAYA.

You also said, “They have turned this place to worst, they have made it a center for marijuana, liquor and non-veg … basic cleanliness and hygiene are lacking in Tirumala and also in the preparation of prasadams. “The TTD needs to be cleansed, and we will do it,”

You have a golden opportunity to keep the TTD a sacred place instead of making it into a sin city.

Also, remember that your government agreed to develop an extraordinary project known as “Devlok” and assigned 38 acres as per G.O Ms. No 65 dated 14-6-2012 to make it into a “Bharat’s First Spiritual Theme Park and Family Destination.”

The Jagan government scrapped your G.O. and issued a new G.O., Ms. No. 24, surrendering about 2o acres of Mumtaz hotel in Peruru Panchayat.

The Jagan government reversed and approved the “Devlok” project you dreamed of.

It is time for you to act immediately by scrapping the GO 24 and issuing a new GO to stop the construction of Mumtaz Hotel.

We believe that you would not fall into this trap and hurt the sentiments of all Hindus across the World.

TTD, TUDA, Perur, and several Hindu organizations opposed the Mumtaz Hotel

The following authorities have expressed their disapproval and issued orders to stop the illegal construction with no success.

1. Tirupati Urban Development Authority Vice-Chairman N. Mourya, I.A.S. said it “identified unauthorized construction in Peruru Gram Panchayat limits and requested Panchayat Secretary to act on it.

2. Sri B R Naidu, Chairman TTD Trust Board, requested the Government of Andhra Pradesh to cancel the land allotment to the Oberai Group at Tirupati for constructing Oberai (villas) by Mumtaz Hotels LTD. and to ensure that the land is earmarked in the future only for purposes that align with the sanctity and spirituality of Tirumala.

3. At the TTD governing council meeting, Sri B R Naidu said: “Whatever land of 25 acres was given by the tourism department, Chandrababu Naidu had earlier wanted to start a project called ‘Devlok.’ But now, after those documents changed hands, there were plans to construct a five-star hotel named ‘Mumtaz’. As it is en route to Tirumala, on account that it might hurt the sentiments of Hindus, we discussed clearly, and TTD has decided to request the government to hand over the lands to TTD.”

4. Panchayath Secretary of Peruru Panchayat, Tirupati Rural Mandal, wrote to Sri Trident Five Star Hotel (Oberoy Group of Hotels and Resorts) saying that you have not taken any permission from Peruru Panchayat to construct any building in the panchayat limits on survey Number 604/2 on S V Zoo Park Road. So, we'd like you to submit any document allowing the building of these structures that needs to be forwarded to Panchayat. Otherwise, we demand Mumtaz to stop the construction or remove the illegal structure and inform the Panchayat within 7 days.

Otherwise, per the Panchayat Act of 1994 and 1975, Peruru Panchayat will remove the structure and recover the cost of removing it. Further, we will file criminal and civil cases against your company.

5. The illegal construction of Mumtaz Hotel is contrary to G. O. Ms. No. 746 dated 02-06-2007, which recognized the sanctity of the Tirumala Hills and sought to preserve them as a unique religious tradition to be nurtured and safeguarded. The seven hills and the temple town of Tirumala were declared a “Tirumala Divya Kshetram.” This Order includes all seven hills, their sacred theerthams, and pathways leading to the temple, emphasizing the preservation of this holy land as a rare and unalloyed devotional experience for millions of devotees.

As per GO MS No 746 dt 2-6-2007, Chandragiri, Srivari Mettu, Alipiri, Balapalli Chittoor Border, Ghat Road 1 and 2 connecting roads are all under the control of Tirumala, TTD.

6. G. O. Ms. No 24 dated 24.11.2021 sanctioning the construction of Mumtaz Hotel is a direct attack on the sanctity of “Tirumala Divya Kshetram” and the sacred sentiments of millions of Hindus. Allowing the construction of commercial establishments, including 100 villas, multi-cuisine restaurants, banquet halls, conference facilities, a bar and lounge, a swimming pool, and party areas on the foothills of Tirumala in Survey number 604/2 in Perur Gram Panchayat, is a blatant attack on the sanctity of Tirumala, deliberate violation of spiritual essence and gross defilement of the Hindu sentiments. The establishment of this Hotel is against the religious and spiritual aspects stated in G.O 746.

REVOKE G.O. Ms. No 24 issued on 24.11.2021

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation and millions of Hindus across the Globe ask you to intervene and revoke G.O. Ms. No. 24 and see that the illegal construction is removed forthwith to ensure the sanctity of Tirumala and to follow the law of the land. It will also restore faith in the government. All the efforts by several organizations, TTD, TUDA, Peruru Panchayat, and Sri B R Naidu, have failed.

Why are we approaching you?

Please see that the illegal construction of the Mumtaz Hotel is demolished and protects the sanctity of Tirumala. Millions of Hindus have been awaiting your response for the last two months.

You are the last best hope for Hindus, sanctity, and Seven Hills.

Please act immediately and make a statement as per the Dharma you espoused.

Dhanyavad,

Prakasarao V Velagapudi PhD

President, GHHF
