Hundreds of two-wheelers and four-wheelers moving freely are not stopped by the police personnel
The streets of Hyderabad are painting a different picture these lockdown days, with people venturing out on the roads even after 10 a.m. as if there are no restrictions in place. Ironically, police of three urban commissionerates — Hyderabad, Cyberabad and Rachakonda — who claim to have set up more than 270 check-posts with over 18,000 personnel were hardly stopping any vehicles even in the afternoon. A trip from Langer Houz to Malakpet via Abids and Chaderghat, and return to Mehdipatnam, saw very little or no checking at check-posts even though vehicles are moving about till 12 noon, no less. Hundreds of two-wheelers and four-wheelers were moving freely and they were not stopped by the police personnel. Around 12 noon, police stopped and started questioning a few bikers near Mahavir Hospital, Ravindra Bharathi, and Andhra Bank signal at Sultan Bazar. Several concerned residents claim that the police have hardly visited their colonies since the lockdown was announced.More Related News
