Hyderabad blast victims kin opt to stay indoors

Stunned and shocked kin of victims of last weeks twin blasts here, still hesitate to venture out of their homes.

Hyderabad, Sep 1 : Stunned and shocked kin of victims of last week's twin blasts here, still hesitate to venture out of their homes.

As the city is yet to come to terms with the tragedy, the families of these victims are sacred to send their children out.

"We fear moving out of our homes. Our parents are not letting us venture out after such big incident. It's been one week since I have gone to college. I am unable to appear for my exams," said Imtiaz Ali, the relative of a victim.

"Police came and didn't do anything. Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy is not taking any step. Such incidents are taking place and they are not providing any security to the public. How can one live like this? It is better to go and live in the jungles, than being in such an unsafe place," said Mohammad Yusuf, the father of a victim.

Two bombs ripped through Lumbini Park and a small restaurant, killing 43 people, many of them children and youth.

No one has claimed responsibility for the tragedy that came three months after a bomb went off at the historic Mecca Mosque.
