The police have stepped up vigilance in Old City, making sure commercial establishments close by 11:30 pm.

A special drive initiated by the Task Force and local police, directed by Hyderabad City police commissioner Kothakota Sreenivasa Reddy, is targeting areas like Shahalibanda, Kalapather, Yakutpura, and others. Parents are being urged to keep tabs on their children and not allow them out past midnight.
Videos circulating on social media show police using foul language and aggressive tactics towards children and young people during these patrols. Critics say this approach is inappropriate and that targeting only Old City residents is unfair. Activists are calling for action against officers who behave inappropriately.
