Telangana Congress Leaders Organize Bus Transportation for 2,800 Migrant Workers

Hyderabad's Telangana Congress leaders made a remarkable effort to help 2,800 migrant workers return to their native places in Bihar, Jharkhand, and Uttar Pradesh. Following a directive from Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) Spokesperson Syed Nizamuddin arranged for 28 buses, each with a capacity of 50 passengers, to transport the workers to their homes.
