Commuters across Hyderabad reacted sharply to a steep hike in TGSRTC city bus fares, which came into effect Monday. With fares rising by Rs 5 to Rs 10, passengers say the hike burdens daily travel costs without improving services

Flooding from the Musi River brought operations at Hyderabad’s MGBS bus station to a standstill, leaving passengers stranded. TGSRTC announced the suspension of services and rerouted buses to alternative stations including JBS, Uppal, LB Nagar, and Aramghar.

Heavy inflows from Himayatsagar and Osmansagar reservoirs triggered widespread flooding along the Musi River in Hyderabad, submerging homes and cutting off key roads and bridges. Over a dozen colonies were affected, including Shankernagar, Moosanagar, and Asadbabanagar. The Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station was inundated, forcing a halt in services.

Metro works for the MGBS–Chandrayangutta corridor in Hyderabad’s Old City have advanced, with the number of affected properties reduced from 1,100 to 900. HAML is conducting night work, and geotechnical testing is set to begin for pillar and station foundations.
