Hyderabad which wore a deserted look for almost a week as Settlers headed to their natives for Sankranthi holidays is slowly coming back to life. Large population of the city is back to the city to get busy in their daily routine. As a result all the bus stations, railway stations got busier. Private Travels and even RTC minted money for the return journeys too like the onward journeys.
Many people struggled to reach their areas as Auto Rickshaws and Private Cabs burnt a hole in their pockets. The best part of the Sankranthi season for Hyderabad city is that the traffic in the city reduced by more than a half. Air pollution has come down significantly and even noise pollution had shown a moderate dip.
The business class will breathe in relief as commercial activity worth 300 Crore will come to a stand still in this festive season. It is estimated that there are 38 Lakh settlers in Hyderabad and Ranga Reddy region. At least 18 Lakh out of them headed to Seema Andhra for the harvest festival.
