Hyderabad: The
situation remained peaceful in the riot-hit areas of old city of
Hyderabad Wednesday as police relaxed curfew for the first time in
four days.
No untoward incident was reported during the curfew relaxation for
four hours in Madannapet and Saeedabad police station limits.
After remaining indoors for three days, people came out to buy
essential commodities as police and paramilitary forces kept a
strict vigil.
Meanwhile, police Wednesday arrested four more accused in
connection with the violent incidents that took place Sunday.
Seven people were arrested Tuesday.
The communally sensitive Madannapet was rocked by communal clashes
Sunday after a place of worship was desecrated. Over a dozen
people were injured in the violence spread to Saeedabad and
surrounding areas forcing police to impose indefinite curfew.
Meanwhile, desecration of yet another place of worship took place.
Unidentified people threw carcass of a dead dog in a place of
worship in Bahadurpura. Five such incidents have been reported
since the violence Sunday.
After three days of undeclared curfew in other parts of the old
city, the usual hustle bustle resumed in the markets around the
historic Charminar here.
Shops in Laad Bazar, Patther Gatti, Patel Market, Madina and other
commercial centres in the old city re-opened while buses of the
state-owned road transport corporation also returned on the roads.
