Regular buses from Dilsukhnagar, Afzalgunj
The regular buses coming from Dilsukhnagar and Afzalgunj and operated via GPO to Nampally and beyond will also be operated via Gandhi Bhavan on the up trip.
TGSRTC decided to arrange buses as the distribution of fish prasadam in Hyderabad draws thousands of asthma patients who believe that consuming the prasadam can alleviate their condition.
The Bathini Goud family takes care of the distribution of their famous fish prasadam.
Bathini Anureet Goud and Gauri Shankar Goud stated that the traditional process involves placing a small piece of the prasadam into the mouth of a live murrel fishling, which is then swallowed whole by the patient.
