Hyderabad | 17th November 2012
A day after incidents of violence, normalcy has returned to the Old City of Hyderabad on Saturday.
Giving much relief to the general public, the City Police relaxed traffic restrictions on the routes leading towards Charminar. The barricades and barbed wires which were erected on Friday were also removed on Saturday morning. Barring a few, almost all shops and establishments in the markets around Charminar have reopened.
Although the general traffic looked thin in the early hours, by noon the areas around the historic Charminar regained their old looks. The educational institutions in the Old City too functioned normally. However, police pickets were seen at sensitive areas, albeit in less numbers. South Zone DCP Akun Sabharwal and other senior officials themselves patrolled the areas in the Old City.
