Security beefed up at Telangana Legislative Assembly after a man sets himself ablaze

Hyderabad: Tight security arrangements have been done near Telangana Assembly after a man on Thursday sets himself on fire close to assembly. Key roads connecting towards assembly were closed and the traffic coming from Basheerbagh was diverted towards Himayatnagar on Friday.

It has been noticed that people were not allowed into Shahi Masjid in the public garden beside the assembly to offer Friday prayers even as the mosque was reopened from September 5. Few people have offered Jumma at Shahi Masjid. Photos by Mohammed Hussain
