In a recent incident in the historic Charminar and Mecca Masjid area of Hyderabad, five women vendors were fined and ordered to perform social service by a court after being booked for allegedly obstructing tourist pedestrians on the main road. According to the Charminar police, the women, hailing from Alwar in Rajasthan, were repeatedly found selling artificial flower items on the pedestrian stretch between Gulzar Houz and Charminar, a route designated for tourists visiting the heritage sites.
The accused women, identified as Anju Singh (19), Sabi Devi (38), Manu Devi (43), Manisha (20), and Shakuntala (36), were residing at Nandanavanam near TKR Kaman in Meerpet. Despite repeated warnings and requests to clear the pathway, the vendors allegedly continued their activities on the road, causing obstruction to pedestrian movement. This led to the Charminar police booking petty cases against them on May 23 under Section 66-C of the City Police Act and Section 292 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
