Hyderabad entered the 14th day of the lockdown on Tuesday

As the city entered the 14th day of the lockdown on Tuesday, the police continued to strictly enforce restrictions across the city.

Though the roads were busy with people and vehicles during the four-hour relaxation period, post 10am, barricades were set up on the roads and visible policing increased in the residential colonies and bylanes adjacent to the main roads.

During the relaxation period, hundreds of citizens were seen thronging on the roads to buy groceries, vegetables and other essentials. Most shops were jam-packed and many places witnessed heavy traffic jams, including at Charminar, Kachiguda,



Narayanaguda, Secunderabad Railway Station road, Miyapur, Kukatpally, Nampally, Ameerpet, Punjagutta and Begumpet.

From 9.50 am onwards, the City Police started patrolling the roads with sirens alerting citizens it was time to enforce the lockdown and they needed to get back to their homes.

Apart from a few junctions, post 10 am, all the roads in the city wore a deserted look with the police intensifying the vehicle checking and scrutinizing.

Those found violating lockdown rules and venturing out on the roads unnecessarily were detained and their vehicles seized.
