Commercial establishments in Hyderabad to shut down by 10:30 PM everyday
Following recent violent crime episodes, chief minister A revanth reddy evaluated the state's law and order situation before the police issued the directives. Additionally, the police cautioned citizens against hitching rides from strangers and roving aimlessly on roadways after dark. Liquor users in public areas were forewarned of harsh consequences.
Pathergatti merchant Mohd Jabber remarked that because charminar is a popular tourist destination, both locals and visitors often stay until midnight or later on weekends.
"The livelihood of law-abiding citizens should not be sacrificed in the name of government control over crime," he stated. Another trader from Shah ali Banda, Mohd Sohaib, stated that people's inclinations were shifting and that they would rather be out and about in the evenings with their families.
