This is every year celebration for Hyderabad and this year too 69th All India Industrial Exhibition in Nampally Exhibition Grounds (Called as Numaish in local Hyderabad) has started and almost nearing one month. People from surrounding towns, villages and the localites of Hyderabad throng to this Exhibition in groups and during week ends long queues near ticket counters is a regular scene.
This year too, heavy crowds were expected and shopkeepers thought of good business beating all the odds of recession. More than recession is ‘Telangana” effect which spoiled the party and festive mood in Exhibition grounds.
With calls for frequent bandhs and huge meetings planned in and around the city fighting for Telangana state, not just the localites even visitors from surrounding towns and villages are showing disinterest towards Exhibition and few of the visitors have complained that, this is the first time that we have seen the exhibition at its dullest.
Well Hyderabad is loosing its sheen with this T-tussle…a better proof is this Exhibition, pride of Hyderabad.
