Telangana Hyderabad Roads wear Deserted Look
With individuals and families going to their hometowns to celebrate the harvest holiday of Sankranti, the city appeared empty on Saturday. Since Thursday, there has been considerable traffic on the Hyderabad-Vijayawada Highway. Even though officials have made particular efforts to alleviate the congestion, cars, buses, and other modes of transportation continue to queue at toll plazas.
A massive throng was reported at Panthangi Toll Plaza, with many travelling to their hometowns in telangana or Andhra Pradesh. On Saturday, traffic was congested for around 10 km. Railway and bus stations in hyderabad were also crowded with passengers travelling to telugu and surrounding states. Special trains and buses are being conducted from hyderabad to other locations in surrounding states to alleviate the congestion. The number of passengers is expected to increase significantly during the following two days.
The telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) has already announced plans to operate 4,484 special buses for people returning to their hometowns. The 'Maha Lakshmi' free travel provision for ladies on TSRTC buses in telangana may contribute to the rush this year.
Meanwhile, the rtc has established a command and control centre at bus Bhavan that connects the CCTV cameras located in several congested areas. Surveillance cameras have been deployed to monitor the passenger crowd and dispatch buses accordingly. It has made special preparations at MGBS and JBS stations in anticipation of the holiday influx.
