In this regard, Hyderabad-Vijayawada National Highway No. 66 has become congested with rush beginning from Friday evening, growing to a grinding halt of traffic on Saturday. This situation was especially prevalent on the Vijayawada route. Due to the heavy rush, vehicles came to a standstill at the GMR toll plaza located at Pantangi village under Choutuppal Mandal of Yadadri Bhongir district.
The influx of travellers, particularly from Hyderabad and other regions, has caused a significant strain on transportation networks. Many have opted for buses, trains, personal vehicles, and rentals to reach their native places, predominantly in the erstwhile Nalgonda and Khammam districts of Telangana. Simultaneously, a substantial number of people from Andhra Pradesh are also making their way back home, leading to a surge in traffic along major routes.

As many as nine toll booths are allocated towards the Vijayawada route, at Panthangi Toll Plaza. On normal days, approximately 35-40 thousand vehicles travel through it. But on Saturday, 20-25 thousand additional vehicles passed the toll plaza. Expecting more rush, the GMR management had arranged staff available to handle the situation. Meanwhile, keeping in mind the heavy traffic in Choutuppal town, the police closed the Thangallapally chowrasta and the one near the RTC bus station temporarily to avoid accidents locally.
