Tight security has been beefed up in and around Hyderabad reportedly in the wake of intelligence reports indicating a possible bomb blasts in twin cities. Earlier, it was learned that Begum Bazaar of Hyderabad was the main target. However, in the wake of Maha Shiva Ratri (a festival dedicated to Lord Shiva), the intelligence sources reportedly said that there could be possible explosions near temples in the twin cities.

Therefore, all major forces plunged into action and tight vigil is going on. Many traffic jams in the evening hours were reported near Secunderabad but then people were happy that tight vigil was underway. On the other hand, hoax bomb calls are putting officials on tenterhooks. The police officials told that no matter how many hoax calls they get, they would not be taking even a single call less seriously.
