This season of colours, you needn't worry about commuting to and fro from your relative's place, after celebrating Holi. Why? Because the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) has announced the operation of 2065 additional buses across Uttar Pradesh.

Herein, it was decided that 100% of the buses will run on roads to ensure that passengers are able to travel on the day.
