Telangana Hyderabad - 6 Pubs Booked for Flouting Timings, Sound Pollution
The City of Pearls said goodbye to 2023 and greeted the New Year with a slew of festivities, as a laid-back sunday atmosphere gave way to a pulsing excitement as the skies darkened.
To accommodate the surge of revelers, the hyderabad Metro extended its operation hours past the customary 11 p.m. cutoff. Despite the extended service, the trains carried surprisingly few people, demonstrating a community that appeared to prefer alternate forms of transportation for its celebrations.
Buses were packed till the last trip as many returned to their hometowns to celebrate the short holiday. The city's varied population gathered in houses of worship, with devout crowding churches for midnight 'watch night services' that began at 10 p.m. Temples were filled with special prayers and pujas, representing a common desire to begin the New Year with heavenly blessings.
