Please do not stay at Veekay Tourist Home (close to exit of pf 1 Yesvantpur Jn). Its the worst hotel experience we had. When I booked the hotel by checking their site, I found it fine and it is closer to Yesvantpur Jn. When we checked into the room we noticed that there was no intercom to call reception, TV did not had remote and the TV itself was not working.
All night I was bitten by bedbugs and I could hardly sleep. I had rashes on my arms, back, forehead. Next day found that there was no hot water in our room. Checked with reception and they said that we can take bath in another room. That another room was having

smell of cigaretts, liquor. We complained all this to reception but they did not even bother to apologize or give us some sort of discounts. We checked with few others in the hotel and found similar situation. We checked out immediately the next day.
The driver of car that we hired told us that there are some good hotels near to pf 6 of Yesvanpur Jn.

In one of my tweet to SCR regarding poor time management by MMTS Hyderabad trains:
"It is with absolute shame that I have to share about non compliance of MMTS trains in Hyderabad. On 14th Sep I waited to get 7.09AM train 47174 from CDNR to SC to get but never arrived.
I had to get 8.20 AM train from SC to Kagaznagar & I took alternate option from CDNR to reach SC. It was absolute confusion in station. It is shame that in digital world u cannot even announce status of
...

trains if it will arrive or is late at stations or if a train is cancelled??? How do u expect us to use MMTS for a travel. It is again shame that u don't adhere to timelines at all.
Another example is 47186 on 15th Sep from CDNR of 4.29PM which arrived at 5.20PM, It rained heavily and no rooftop to protect while we wait for hours for this pathetic train. Never will rely on MMTS as I faced 2 horrible instance back to back.
It is incapable management of SCR operators. Utter mismanagement by SCR operators who don't give a damn about the MMTS trains."

It is a pity that city like Hyderabad has such worst suburban rail transport. When there was inspection a few years back they ran it timely. It means if supervision is there then they will adhere.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
