Sankranthi festival has kickstarted in the Telugu States. Two of the Sankranthi films have been released today and both the Telugu state governments have already declared Sankranthi holidays. With this, those who live in Hyderabad but belong to Andhra Pradesh are leaving the city for Sankranthi celebrations.
There are a lot of number of people, especially in the city, whose native places are in AP. For the past two days, a heavy turnout of people has been leaving the city and we can see that on the National Highways and the toll gates.
With many people leaving the city, Hyderabad looks deserted. Usually, there will be huge traffic all over in Hyderabad but the flow has been reduced considerably. On Friday evening and Saturday, many more people are expected to leave the city. It is well known that the Sankranthi festival will be celebrated this year on the 14th, 15th, and 16th.
