TERROR HITS DILSUKHNAGAR



Dilsukh Nagar is one of the densely populated locality of Hyderabad and has been part of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation since 2007. This means it was integrated into the city of Hyderabad very recently but was always a busy middle-class residential and commercial centre thanks to the migrants from the coastal Andhra. Its 30-km radius area packs nearly 20 lakh population and hence has markets, hotels, educational institutions and of course cinema halls. It is on Mumbai-Vijayawada National Highway 9 with a heaviest traffic density in the capital region.


Traffic returned to normal today and commercial establishments began to open on the stretch, two days after the deadly terror attack near the bus stand, claimed 16 lives.

Dilsukhnagar, which connects to Hyderabad-Vijayawada highway, is abuzz with activity on a usual day, as it houses a number of educational institutions, coaching centres for job aspirants, government offices, several malls and innumerable commercial establishments.

In a press release issued on October 26, after Maqbool's arrest, the Delhi Police said that "Maqbool helped Imran in doing a recce of Dilsukhnagar, Begum Bazar and Abids in Hyderabad on a motorcycle."


Andhra Pradesh Police on Friday said the face of one of the suspects of February 21 Dilsukhnagar twin blasts case here was clearly captured by CCTV cameras and efforts are on to identify the person. "The face of one of the suspects with a bicycle has been clearly captured by CCTV cameras and the process is on for the identification of the suspect," Andhra Pradesh Director General of Police V Dinesh Reddy told reporters here late this evening.
 
The busy Dilsukhnagar area of the city, which witnessed twin bomb blasts on Thursday, is limping back to normalcy with shopkeepers and roadside vendors resuming their business.
