  "account": "On Thursday, the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) suspended approximately 170 bus services in the Visakhapatnam area due to the effects of a deep depression and challenging road conditions, with the primary concern being passenger safety. Regional Manager B. Appala Naidu personally inspected the Dwaraka Bus Station and assessed the situation. According to Naidu, around 50 services on routes such as RK Beach, Scindia, and Gajuwaka were cancelled as passenger movement declined following the closure of educational institutions and poor road conditions. Additionally, 120 services, including air-conditioned buses to distant locations like Bhadrachalam and Hyderabad, were also suspended. Naidu instructed his staff to remain vigilant and adapt service schedules based on ongoing weather and road conditions.",
