This is really bad news for prestigious Historical City. These more then 400 years love based Hyderabad city now facing vigil alerts in every moment and every incident. India’s most popular and cultural oriented Hyderabad city placed in the list of Indian city’s most targeted by various Muslim oriented terrorism organisations.Barring Jammu and Kashmir and the Northeastern states, Hyderabad is now facing highest vigil alerted city
in India. It is preceded only by Mumbai and Delhi. The city has witnessed four major attacks since 2005, while 14 blasts have occurred in Mumbai and seven in Delhi in the last six years. Though the city had faced terror strikes from 1992, when Mr G. Krishna Prasad, the additional superintendent of police, was shot dead by an ISI-sponsored terrorist Mujeeb Ahmed, major attacks have occurred only in recent times. The first was in October 2005, when a suicide attack was carried out at the Special Task Force headquarters in the city.The twin blasts in 2007 killed 41
people and injured more than 60, while another explosion in Hyderabad’s Macca Masjid killed 11 people. These attacks changed the profile of the amiable multicultural city and made it an unsafe metro located in the crosshairs of terror operatives. Police believes that all the attacks on the city were masterminded by outfits operating from foreign soils. “Ten years back we used to go to any place without any security worries,” said Sandhya, a Journolist. “Now we see metal detectors everywhere.”“Having failed to provoke communal violence in cities such as Mumbai and Delhi, terrorist groups are now trying to foment trouble in Hyderabad,” said an police official.According to a senior police officer, the city has not only become unsafe but has also become a hub of terrorism. There are more “sleepers” of terror outfits in Hyderabad than any other city in India.
These sleepers recruit youth and traffic them to Pakistan via Bangladesh from Hyderabad. After training they will be slipped into various parts of the country to create disturbances. Intelligence sleuths think there are about 1,000 sleepers in India, of which 250 a
re in Hyderabad alone. Security experts say that the city would continue to face terror attacks as long as the police are not given autonomy. But political masters are unwilling to even consider that option. A senior police officer pointed out that in the US, police was given more autonomy after the September 11 attacks and this enabled them to prevent further attacks on the country. A similar change has to happen in Hyderabad for it to become a safe city again.
