Hyderabad:
Curfew continued in the riot-hit areas of the old city of
Hyderabad for the third consecutive day Tuesday, with the
situation remaining tense but under control.
People in curfew bound areas under Madannapet and Saeedabad police
station limits are reeling under the shortage of essential
commodities. Daily wage earners are the worst hit.
Though police Monday night announced that there would be
relaxation in curfew between 12 noon and 2 p.m. Tuesday, the same
was withdrawn.
The indefinite curfew was imposed Sunday after communal clashes
broke out following the desecration of a place of worship at
Madannapet.
Police remained on high alert following the desecration of three
more places of worship at Narayanguda and Kachiguda, both outside
curfew-bound areas. A tense situation prevails across the old city
due to sporadic incidents of violence.
An uneasy calm prevails in the densely populated neighbourhoods
around the historic Charminar and Mecca Masjid as a sense of fear
grips people. Business in the centuries-old markets in the old
city has been badly hit.
Many people are apprehensive to go out for work and their daily
chores outside the old city. Most of the buses of state-owned Road
Transport Corporation are off the roads and only a few
auto-rickshaws are plying.
Police Commissioner A.K. Khan has announced that prohibitory
orders, banning the assembly of four or more people, would
continue till April 14 in the city. Pillion riding on motorbike
has also been banned during night hours.
Residents in the interior areas of old city are complaining that
they are facing a tough time due to barbed wires erected by police
on many roads.
