Hyderabad: Gram Kala.

The people of Hyderabad went home. As a result, the city became a disaster. All the roads in the always busy Hitech City, Madapur, Jubilee Hills and Banjara Hills areas have become barren. Traffic problem in Hyderabad on normal days is not a new thing. In view of the Sankranti festival and series of holidays, everyone went to their native places. The result was that the crowded city became empty.

On the way to Vijayawada..

Normal crowd was seen on Friday and Saturday, but since it was Sunday, the rest of the people also took the route to the village. The traffic problems which are always seen in the city are currently visible at the toll plazas on the way to Vijayawada. Sankranti traffic continues on Hyderabad-Vijayawada National Highway 65. There is a queue of vehicles at Pentangi and Koralapadu toll plazas. According to the estimates of transport officials, every day 5 lakh people leave Hyderabad for Vijayawada.

Vehicle Bar..

Around 2 lakh people traveled by RTC buses, private buses, trains and planes and another 2 lakh went by their own vehicles and cabs. Due to heavy traffic, a large number of vehicles queued up at Chillakallu and Keesra toll plazas. With the advent of consecutive holidays, all the employees and children went to the rural areas to celebrate the festive season at home.

Crowded bus stand..

Buses were standing in queues, bus stations and railway stations were jam-packed with passengers. There was no boarding and deboarding at MGBS and Jubilee bus stations. There was also rush of passengers at Secunderabad, Kachiguda and Nampally railway stations. All the roads on the outskirts of the city are jam-packed with private vehicles and travelers going to the village in their own vehicles.

special buses

TGSRTC runs special services from Uppal Cross Road, Arrangar, LB Nagar Cross Road, KPHB, Boinpally, Gachibowli. The speed of vehicles slowed down due to narrowing of the road in Abdullapurmet. Police have taken steps to ensure smooth flow of traffic. Flyovers are being constructed on NH-65 at Choutuppal and Suryapet town. Due to this, traffic was severely blocked in those areas.

Officials say the number of vehicles heading towards AP has increased by 30 per cent compared to last year. It has come to light that arrangements have been made to ensure that there is no problem in the movement of vehicles. RTC is running 146 city buses from Secunderabad area to Charlapalli Terminal during the festival season.
