Hyderabad Traffic Police have issued an advisory ahead of a bike rally scheduled to be taken out from Shivaji Chowk, Balapur, to Bhagya Laxmi Temple, Charminar, on Saturday, September 12, between 10 am and 1 pm.

The nearly 9.5-kilometre rally, expected to take about one hour and 35 minutes to cover, will pass through Ganesh Chowk, Diamond Hotel, Royal Colony, Gurram Cheruvu Road, Kattamaisamma Temple, Barkas Road, Keshavagiri T Junction, MBNR X Road, Falaknuma Railway Over Bridge, Engine



Bowly, Aliyabad X Road, Shalibanda/Chatrinaka, Nagulchintha X Road, Rajesh Medical Hall, Charminar Bus Stop and Mecca Masjid before culminating at Charminar.

The rally is one of two Hyderabad Liberation Day bike rallies that the Telangana High Court directed police to permit this week, after officials had initially denied permission citing law and order concerns, apprehensions of communal tension, Assembly bandobast, Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations and peak-hour traffic during the proposed hours.
