TSRTC to run special buses to Srisailam during night

The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) has some good news for its passengers. For the first time, devotees who are going to visit Sri Bhramaramba Mallikarjuna Swamy Varla Devasthanam at Srisailam in Kurnool of Andhra Pradesh will be allowed to travel through the forest area without stopping anywhere at night

At present, the Forest Department officials stop RTC buses and private vehicles at the Ghat roads in the forest area during the night and only allow them to travel next morning.

In this background, TSRTC Rangareddy Region Manager, A Sridhar had recently requested the Forest Department authorities to allow



RTC buses coming from Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station (MGBS) and Jubilee Bus Station (JBS) to travel at night even without stopping at Munnanur and Domalapenta check posts at the Nagarjuna Sagar – Srisailam tiger reserve.

Considering the request and examining the possibilities, Telangana Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (PCCF), Rakesh Mohan Dobriyal issued an order allowing TSRTC buses to pass through the reserve forest area till November 20, for the benefit of the devotees.

The corporation is running the special buses between 3.45 am to 11.45 pm from Hyderabad to Srisailam temple.
