This included over 1,700 additional buses in addition to the regular daily fleet of 3,500 buses. The rush of passengers was expected to continue for another three days.
Railway stations such as Nampally, Secunderabad, and Kachiguda also faced congestion as trains departing to various destinations were jammed.
