Overview

• BRS said K. T. Rama Rao, T. Harish Rao and other leaders were confined to their homes early Thursday as large police contingents surrounded their residences.
• After initial curbs, several leaders were allowed to leave and boarded RTC buses toward Bus Bhavan, where police cordoned routes, halted groups near RTC X Roads, and detained some participants before release.
• Scenes outside the corporation headquarters showed tight restrictions, with only a few senior leaders allowed through and multiple workers taken into custody.
• TSRTC’s revised pricing, effective October 6, adds Rs 5 for early stages and Rs 10 for later stages on most city services to fund electric‑bus infrastructure.
• Police had not issued an official confirmation of house‑arrest claims, while BRS estimated the hike would add about Rs 500 per month for regular commuters and vowed to continue its agitation.
