Hyderabad: Proactive role by colony welfare associations

Musheerabad: Several colonies and bastis in Ramnagar division barricaded roads, preventing strangers and foreigners coming into their colonies, as part of lockdown to prevent spread of the virus in their colonies. Only those who were offering essential services were being allowed into the colonies.

Colony welfare associations and basti committees ensured that roads leading to their colonies were barricaded with autos, vehicles and push carts. Such lockdowns were seen in Hari Nagar, Ambedkar Nagar, Krishna Nagar, SRT Quarters, Risalagadda, Pavitra Nagar, Bagh Lingampally, Sriramnagar, Lambadi Thanda, Surya Nagar, Arora College line, Uma Garden line, Jamistapur, Shivathanampur and other colonies in Ramnagar division.
