  "account": "During the Dasara festive season, the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) ran a total of 2,474 special buses between October 9 and October 14. The corporation had planned for 2,630 special buses for this period, achieving an impressive 94.07% of its target. On October 10, a sudden surge in passenger activity prompted the operation of an additional 689 special buses, surpassing the planned 529 by 160. Karimnagar Zone managed to run 1,565 buses out of its 1,770 target, achieving 88.42% of its goal. In contrast, Hyderabad Zone operated 682 buses against its target of 860, meeting only 79.30% of its objective. In anticipation of high passenger volumes on October 16 and October 17, TGSRTC's Vice-Chairman and Managing Director Y Nagireddy instructed officials to deploy extra buses as needed, stressing the importance of smooth operation without complications.",
