Hyderabad

Hyderabad is a city in India, serving as the capital of Telangana state. Recent news highlights two distinct issues in and around the city/state. Firstly, an article discusses the dark side of Holi, the Hindu festival of colors, noting that in Hyderabad (and likely elsewhere in India), the festival has become associated with harassment of women. The article references a photo taken in Hyderabad during Holi celebrations. Secondly, the state of Telangana, where Hyderabad is located, is currently investigating the killings of hundreds of stray dogs across several villages. Authorities have confirmed over 350 killings and arrested nine people. Animal welfare activists have brought the issue to the BBC's attention. These events highlight concerns about public safety during festivals and animal welfare issues in the region.
