The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) has drawn up plans to ply around 45 special buses between Sironcha in Maharashtra’s Gadchiroli district and Medaram in Telangana’s tribal majority Mulugu district for the convenience of devotees planning to visit the “Sammakka Saralamma” jatara scheduled to be held from February 16 to 19.
Anticipating heavy influx of devotees from the neighbouring Gadchiroli and other districts of Maharashtra for the upcoming jatara in Telangana’s tribal heartland of Medaram well ahead of the mega event, the TSRTC authorities have decided to operate special buses on the inter-State route from Sironcha to Medaram in adherence to COVID-19 safety guidelines from February 13 to 20, sources said.
The upcoming four-day biennial jatara at Medaram is expected to draw lakhs of devotees from far and wide.
