Hyderabad: The
situation remained peaceful in riot-hit parts of the old city of
Hyderabad Monday while the indefinite curfew continued for the
second day, police said.
According to police, no untoward incident took place overnight in
any part of the communally sensitive old city, where alleged
desecration of a place of worship triggered group clashes Sunday.
The indefinite curfew continued in Madannapet and Saidabad police
station limits of East Zone. A police officer said a decision on
relaxation or lifting of curfew would be taken later in the day
after a review of the situation.
The trouble began Sunday morning when two groups belonging to
different communities clashed at Kurmaguda, after some pieces of
an animal were found near a place of worship in Madannapet.
Agitated over this, a mob attacked houses, shops and vehicles.
About 12 people were injured in stabbing, stone pelting and
clashes Sunday.
With the violence spreading to other areas and the situation
slipping out of control, the police imposed curfew.
Students attending class 10 and other examinations have been
exempted from the curfew. The police announced that the hall
tickets of the students would be treated as curfew passes and each
student would be allowed to be escorted by one elder.
All exam centres in the curfew-bound areas are functioning amid
tight security.
Meanwhile, police continued to keep a tight vigil in the sensitive
areas around the historic Charminar. Patrolling has been
intensified and security has been stepped up around places of
worship.
