The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) will be operating 5,265 special buses from October 13 to 24 for the Bathukamma and Dasara festivals. This is an increase of 1,000 buses compared to last year. A meeting was held with the police and Transport department officials to discuss preparations for handling the passenger rush during the festivals.
