Telangana's Historic Narketpally Depot Revived with 19 Buses
Imagine a bus station that was closed for a while but is now open again!
This station, in a place called Narketpally in Telangana, used to be really busy a long time ago.
It was the first bus station in the area, but it closed because it wasn't making money.
But then, a new leader promised to bring it back if he was elected.
He won, and now the bus station is open again with more buses and new routes to different towns.
People are happy because they can travel to more places, and they hope the station will become even better.
Narketpally depot in Telangana, once closed, has been revived.
The depot, established during the Nizam era, now has 19 buses in service.
The revival follows a promise by MLA Vemula Veeresham during the 2023 elections.
New routes to Hyderabad and Amanabole have been started.
Locals hope for further development and reinstatement of local bus services.
