Hyderabad Airport in security blanket

Hyderabad, March 2, 2006

Amid unprecedented security for Friday's landmark visit of US President George W.Bush, the airspace over Hyderabad has been ordered to be sealed for civilian aircraft for about two hours. All airlines have been advised to reschedule their flights to avoid using the Begumpet airport in two spells coinciding with the landing of Air Force One at 9.50am from New Delhi and its departure at 2.05pm.

The Hyderabad airport was under a thick security blanket thrown all around it. Nearly 150-bomb detection experts covered the area around the airport while the ITC Grand Kakatiya and Towers where US advance is staying has been made almost out of bounds for others. Meanwhile, protests by cross section ranging from CPI, Islamic organization, students and writes were staged all over the State against Bush visit.
