State-owned Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) will operate over 100 mini buses from Hyderabad to Yadadri temple.
TSRTC chairman Bajireddy Goverdhan and managing director V. C. Sajjanar on Wednesday flagged off the buses from Uppal bus stand here.
The service has been launched in view of the huge rush of devotees to the hill shrine of Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy at Yadadri in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district, about 60 km from Hyderabad.
The temple was reopened for devotees on Monday after reconstruction and renovation work lasting for more than five years.
Sajjanar said buses were being operated from all the districts to Yadadri. The buses will reach Uppal bus stand and from there, the devotees will reach Yadadri by mini buses.

Meanwhile, Sajjanar clarified that the TSRTC is not forcing employees to take voluntary retirement. He told reporters that 2,000 employees have registered their names for Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS). The TSRTC will work out the package after registering the names under the scheme.
Sajjanar said after completing the VRS process, the TSRTC will fill the vacancies.
