Hyderabad – A complete bandh was observed in Shamshabad on Wednesday, following an alleged incident of vandalism at a local Hanuman temple that occurred on Monday night. The bandh, called by local Hindu organizations, saw business establishments, schools, and colleges shut their doors in solidarity with the protest against the recent attack. The vandalism incident has ignited outrage among the community, prompting a rally at the bus stand area where participants urged traders to keep their businesses closed. "We want to send a strong message to the government that repeated attacks on our temples will not be tolerated," stated one of the rally organizers.
In response to the unrest, law enforcement agencies, including the Cyberabad Special Operations Team (SOT), Armed Reserve, and local police are closely monitoring the situation to ensure public safety and order. The bandh reflects the community's demand for immediate action and greater protection for religious sites, as residents and local leaders call for accountability and justice in the face of rising tensions related to temple vandalism. As the situation develops, authorities are urging citizens to remain calm and cooperate with law enforcement efforts to maintain peace in the area.
