Sankranti Rush Causes Heavy Traffic and Temple Crowds

Sankranti Rush Causes Heavy Traffic and Temple Crowds

After the Sankranti festival, many people were traveling back to Hyderabad and other parts of Telangana.

This caused a lot of traffic on the highways and at major train and bus stations.

The traffic was so heavy that it stretched for miles, and people had to wait for hours.

The police tried to help by opening toll gates and directing traffic, but it was still very crowded.

There was also a problem with a bridge that wasn't finished yet, which made the traffic even worse.

At the same time, many devotees visited the Durga temple on Indrakeeladri.

The temple authorities made sure everything was well-organized so that the devotees could have a peaceful visit.

The police are advising people to travel at times when there is less traffic to avoid the congestion.

The traffic is expected to stay heavy for the next few days as more people return from the holidays.

Some people also noticed that the prices for auto rickshaws and cabs went up because of the rush.
