It is currently possible to book cargo and parcel delivery services at 25 locations throughout Greater Hyderabad, according to the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC).
TSRTC chairman Bajireddy Govardhan said the effort would help customers do business with the company more easily and avoid the need to visit MGBS and JBS every time parcels arrive from districts and other states. According to him, about 25 booking counters will start functioning as delivery counters on June 6.
Managing Director and Vice Chairman of TSRTC, VC Sajjanar said currently parcels and couriers being booked at all peripheral city counters of RTCs and PCC agents are being picked up by 19 CTVs from GHZ and HYD1 depots and transported to MGBS and JBS depots for further processing. For parcels weighing more than 10 kg, a token transhipment fee of Rs 50 was charged. For packages weighing less than 10 kg, a fee of Rs 30 was charged.
The new initiative will improve the accessibility of TSRTC courier and parcel services, Sajjanar said, and bring them closer to the public.

Woman killed by TSRTC bus in Mancherial
On Monday, a TSRTC bus mowed down and killed a 21-year-old woman in Bellampalli. Chintakindi Bavagni was a resident of Kannalabasti and the daughter of an auto-rickshaw driver named Venkatesh, according to the Bellampalli police.
In the accident, she suffered fatal injuries when a bus crushed her as she crossed a street, resulting in her instant death. When her father Venkatesh’s kidneys stopped functioning, she helped her parents take care of the family. She worked for a private diagnostic centre. The accident appears to have been caused by rashes and negligence, as evidenced by a CCTV recording.
Venkatesh cried bitterly over the loss of their breadwinner. For causing the mishap and claiming the life of his daughter, he demanded harsh punishment from the driver of the bus. In a letter to TSRTC managing director VC Sajjanar, Thode Krishna Reddy, an NRI from Mancherial, requested that action be taken against the driver who posted the video clip of the accident on Twitter.
