It seems that the fresh influx of Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar into the city recently has raised alarm bells for Hyderabad cops, that’s why they are keeping tabs on Rohingyas who have moved to Hyderabad. The Hyderabad police have prepared a detailed report on the number of such refugees staying in the city on Tuesday and submitted it to the state government.
According to the report the number of refugees staying in Hafiz Baba Nagar is 14 while there are 17 refugees in Bahadurpura. Other police officials also said many such refugees were present in the Pahadi Shareef area which comes under Cyberabad. Majority of the refugees are males between the age group of 11 to 65 years.
A few right wing organisations from the city have also raised concerns regarding the increasing number of Rohingya Muslims here in the light of the recent violence in Assam however police officials maintained that there was no social tension in the Old City areas due to their arrival. That the fresh influx has been reported during the month of Ramadan has led to a lot of local community members helping them in the form of ‘zakat’. a report said.
