People enjoys a view of the lake with a cool breeze at Tank Bund on Sunday

A pleasant evening breeze, kids skating around, strollers enjoying their walk on an empty road without worry of traffic, and cyclists using the main road without the threat of other vehicles – these were the scenes one could witness on Tank Bund on Sunday.

The three kilometre-long stretch donned a carefree look without its usual bustling traffic and Hyderabadis were seen greeting the statue of Buddha and enjoying a view of the lake with a cool breeze and slight drizzle.

This was made possible due to the traffic-free Sunday initiative by the



Hyderabad Traffic Police after a recommendation by State MAUD Minister KT Rama Rao.

Tank Bund road decked up with designer lamp posts, granite flooring, and cast iron railing, grills, and gazebos welcomed visitors with open arms. One could feel the palpable excitement among the visitors with words like beautiful, pleasant, wow, and ‘looks like a movie set’ echoing all along the road. Families, selfie-lovers, friends, and fitness enthusiasts were all seen soaking in the peaceful environment without the any vehicular traffic.
