The transport body will also arrange direct bus from any village from where there is sufficient number of passengers.The Pandharpur yatra (wari) starts at the beginning of monsoon after sowing of seeds in the first or second week of June. Lakhs of devotees walk long distances to reach to Pandharpur. Since it is not possible for all devotees to walk all the way, the MSRTC arranges additional buses on the occasion of Ashdhi Ekadshi.Divisional traffic officer D B Kadam said, "The Pandharpur yatra is an important event in Maharashtra . Pandharpur receives devotees from every corner of the state and from neighbouring states such as Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. It is difficult for many farmers to undertake wari due to various agriculture-related activities. Therefore, we have arranged additional buses from all depots in the district. There will no fix timing for these buses; Buses will leave as per availability of passengers."Kadam added, "If we get enough passengers from one village, we will arrange a direct bus from that village."
