Telangana Hyderabad - A Deserted Look in City as Locals Rush to Native Places for Voting
On sunday, several metropolitan highways were empty as several individuals made their way to ap to cast their ballots in the state assembly and lok sabha elections scheduled for May 13. The only streets with activity were those that led to highways, such as the one that went towards vijayawada, bus and train terminals, and locations where buses that travel to Andhra Pradesh's districts pick up and drop off.
Crowds carrying packed suitcases to ap were also observed on sunday night at the secunderabad bus terminus. At Chandanagar, Miyapur, and mahatma gandhi bus Station (MGBS), the scenario was essentially the same. Additionally, a number of individuals boarded the bus at Dilsukhnagar, LB Nagar, and Lakdikapul.
To accommodate the influx, the TSRTC reported that it added an extra 3,000 seats to its fleet of 590 special buses on sunday by operating 140 extra buses between hyderabad and Vijayawada. The management has directed employees to account for the influx of passengers to maintain bus availability. At the important railway stations in secunderabad and Kacheguda, there was a similar throng. Additionally, "election specials" are being offered by South Central Railway to AP.
Some of the individuals who were going to the ap locations—which are around six hours away—also began driving home in the evening. As to the india Herald, on Saturday, about 40,000 cars were estimated to have crossed the Pathangi toll plaza on the vijayawada route, causing traffic congestion. According to a resident of Road No. 10, Jubilee Hills, he and his family left the city on sunday night at approximately nine o'clock in the evening and would return before the offices opened on Tuesday.
