The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) on Sunday clarified that there was no increase in ticket prices this Dasara season.

The transport behemoth was responding reportedly to comments made by Bharat Rashtra Samithi legislator T. Harish Rao. The Deputy Floor Leader had stated that instead of extending some goodies to people during the Bathukamma and Dasara festivities, the government was collecting double fare from people travelling to villages by turning the regular buses as special services and reducing the number of regular services.
