- Tight security at Gun Park as Assembly sessions begin
- Former sarpanches protest threat prompts police deployment
The Hyderabad Police imposed heavy security around Gun Park and the Telangana Assembly on Monday as Assembly sessions commenced. Authorities tightened arrangements following intelligence inputs that warned of possible protests by various groups over pending issues. Therefore, police moved quickly to prevent any disturbance and to maintain law and order in the sensitive area.
Officials confirmed that a three tier security system is in place around the Assembly premises. Nearly 1,000 police personnel have been deployed at key points near Gun Park and surrounding roads. Meanwhile, police teams are monitoring entry and exit points closely. The focus remains on ensuring the smooth conduct of the Assembly sessions without disruption.
The heightened police presence follows a protest call given by former sarpanches. They have been demanding the release of long pending bills. According to the protesters, dues worth Rs 531 crore are still unpaid by the State government. Therefore, officials anticipated large scale demonstrations near the Assembly, which led to increased security planning.
Anticipating attempts to lay siege to the Assembly, police carried out preventive detentions. They also arrested several former sarpanches ahead of the sessions. Officials said these steps were necessary to avoid any breach of peace. They added that the action aimed to ensure the Assembly sessions proceed without interruption and to prevent inconvenience to the public.
Meanwhile, security agencies continue to assess the situation on the ground. Police personnel remain stationed throughout the area, including Gun Park and nearby locations. Officers are also keeping a close watch on movements around the Assembly complex. Therefore, traffic and public movement in the zone are under strict observation.
Officials stated that security will remain tight as long as the Assembly sessions continue. Police said they are prepared to respond swiftly if the situation changes. However, they have not issued any fresh advisories beyond the existing measures. The situation remains under control, according to police sources.
The heavy police presence reflects ongoing concerns over protests linked to pending demands. Authorities stressed that public safety and uninterrupted legislative proceedings remain their priority. Police will continue to monitor developments closely in the coming hours.
