Hyderabad police urge public to avoid Tank Bund birthday celebrations at midnight

Hyderabad: Police urged residents, especially youngsters and parents, to avoid **Tank Bund birthday celebrations** at midnight. They also warned against cake cutting on major city roads, near lakes and in parks. The appeal followed a fatal crash on Tank Bund two days ago.

The accident occurred around 2 am. A six-year-old girl and a family member died on the child’s birthday. Police personnel reached the spot immediately and rushed the injured to hospital. However, their efforts could not save the victims.

Police said careless late-night celebrations had left families facing irreversible loss. They urged parents to keep children away from roads during midnight gatherings. Officials also inspected the crash site alongside senior police officers. They later reviewed the safety concerns with various government departments and discussed preventive measures.

Tank Bund birthday celebrations violate existing GHMC rules

Police stressed that families should celebrate birthdays at home or in other safe places. At midnight, lighter traffic can encourage motorists to drive at excessive speeds. Therefore, taking young children onto busy roads for celebrations creates serious risks.

The police also clarified that **Tank Bund birthday celebrations** violate existing restrictions. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation had already issued clear orders prohibiting such events at the location.

Police personnel regularly patrol Tank Bund and ask people to leave. However, some return later at night and resume their celebrations. Officials warned that this practice could lead to further tragedies.

Police appealed to residents not to gather at Tank Bund, near lakes or in other public spaces for midnight parties and cake cutting. They urged families to choose safer venues instead of putting lives at risk.
