Hyderabad district in India

Hyderabad – the capital of Andhra Pradesh is more than 400 year old city – rather twin city along with the city of Secunderabad.

It is located on the banks of River Musi, which anyway is no longer to be seen in the present day !

It was founded in 1590 by Muhammad Quli, the fourth of the Qutb Shahi kings. However after Aurangzeb’s death in 1707, Mughal control over this part of India rapidly waned and the Asaf Jahi viceroys who had been installed to look after the interests of the Mughal Empire broke away and took control as their own independent state.

Hyderabad had its own currency, mint, railways, and postal system. Survey work on Nagarjuna Sagar had also begun during the times of Nizam.

Persian was the official language up to 1893 and then Urdu became the official language and was in use up to 1948.

Mecca Masjid

Quite close to Charminar, lies this majestic masjid built of stone.

The construction of this masjid was started in the year 1617 by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, and was completed in the year 1694 during the reign of the Moghal Emperor Aurangzeb.

In its courtyard there is a water tank at ground level, from use muslims use water to perform what is called “abolution” to wash their face, hands, feet before performing prayers.

Exotic Arabic Food restaurant

Local train, now called MMTS

A wonderful improvement was done to local trains and when the service was associated with buses, it was called MMTS. Multi Mode Transport Service.

Ifyou have to travel to a place that requires bus and rail travel, then MMTS is a good option. The railway stations at most places have special bays so that passengers can switch from bus to train.

Local buses run by APSRTC and SETWIN

APSRTC the state government company operates majority of local buses of which there are 3 categories:

• Ordinary
• Express
• Veera

The fare in each is different.

SETWIN buses are acutally run by licenced operators and are smaller in size and run on selected routes only.

7 seater, 3 wheelers

In addition to the usual 3 wheeler auto rickshaw, we now have “7 seater” diesel run bigger autorickshaws, plying on certain peripheral routes.

Interestingly such vehicles were a common place in Manila, Philippines in 1997. A few years later such vehicles got introduced in Hyderabad.

Autorickshaws

The 7 seaters are not allowed on all routes in the city.

The yellow color autorickshaws (now mostly rear engine) are a good option for city travel. But there is a chance of fare shown by the meter being disputable, but what can the commutter do, just pay !

Railway Stations

There are 3 major railway stations in Hyderabad for inter-city and intra-city connections.

1. Nampally station in Hyderabad
2. Kacheguda station also in Hyderabad
3. Secunderabad station in Secunderabad.

Ponds

Well there are far too many ponds to be listed here.

But the most scenic and large pond is HUSSAIN SAGAR, commonly known as TANK BUND. This pond sort of divides Hyderabad and Secunderabad.

Roads

At different places the quality of roads is different. Drivers endurance is fully tested both due to quality of roads and by the haphazard traffic.

Luckily a vast majority of the 2 wheeler riders, use helmet – finally.

Road expansion, diggings, fly-overs are big reasons for traffic jams and snail speed movement of traffic.

Flyovers

Several fly overs have been constructed and more are under construction.

Foot over bridge, or simply pedestrian bridge

Finally in extremely heavy traffic areas, FOBs are being constructed. But these need to be maintained for safety and security of the users.
