Conducted on the intervening night of Monday and Tuesday, this operation has led to the arrest of people who were allegedly engaging in illegal activities at the location.

The operation to crackdown on alcohol consumption and drug intake at the graveyard in Hyderabad was supervised by Task Force Additional DCP Ande Srinivasa Rao and Inspector K.N. Prasad Verma.
“We have identified other areas where anti-social elements are creating a nuisance,” stated Srinivasa Rao, signaling ongoing initiatives to improve community well-being.
Broader issue in the area
The ganja intake and alcohol consumption have reportedly become a common occurrence, especially in private buses parked along the stretch connecting the Dabeerpura road overbridge to the Chanchalguda Central Prison crossroads, Hyderabad.
Recognizing the potential risks associated with this behavior, the task force, with support from local traffic police, took action to remove these buses from the area on Tuesday. This is expected to not only clear the congestion on these roads but also reduce the locations where anti-social activities might flourish.
