The Sunday Funday event organised near Hussain Sagar Lake of Tank Bund, Hyderabad, was a major hit. Hundreds of people across the City came and participated in the event, initiated by the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Government.

The concept of Sunday Funday is to let the citizens of Hyderabad enjoy the public space without the hustle of traffic at the major public spot, Tank Bund. The State Government and the State Police organised events like Telangana State Police Band Parade, orchestra of Telugu songs, Oggu Dolu (Telangana tribal dance,) Gussadi (ethnic festival dance of Telangana,) Bonalu Kolatam (tribal dance during Bonalu festival) and fireworks. Hundreds of people along with their children visited the event, which started from 3:00 P.M., and continued till 10:00 P.M. During this 8 hour duration, movement of vehicles was prohibited in the area. The idea of traffic free Tank Bund was in effect since the 29th of August.

The idea was inspired by a Twitter user who requested Mr. K.T. Rama Rao, the Information Technology and Urban Development Minister of Telangana, to have traffic free Sundays at Tank Bund so that people could enjoy the space. Responding to the same, Mr. Rama Rao suggested having traffic free Sundays at Tank Bund. In addition, the State Government came up with an idea of events, organised on Sundays for the citizens of Hyderabad. The last event was held on the 13th of September. There was a gap of one week, due to the Ganesh Chaturthi celebration immersion.

However, with the 26th of September’s event, the packed Sunday Funday is back for the people of Hyderabad.

Some of the major attractions of Yesterday’s event were free saplings given by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA,) fire works, food, lighting, cycling, skating, the Hyderabad Police Women’s safety wing’s organised a zumba session, awareness programmes about She Teams, handloom stalls, food joints and others.

Mr. Arvind Kumar, the Special Chief of the Municipal Administration and Urban Development, took to Twitter and posted a series of tweets about the event.

In his tweet, Mr. Arvind Kumar said, “#Tankbund Sunday-Funday in full swing with RPF Band playing and traditional dances from the state @KTRTRS.”

In another tweet, Mr. Arvind Kumar shared a firework video and wrote, “#TankBund Sunday-Funday. Three rounds of firework.. Kids couldn’t have asked for more.”

In addition, Ms. Swati Lakra, the Additional Director General of Women Safety Wing, also tweeted about the successful event. She said, “#SundayFunday at #TankBund Women Safety Wing Corner was a great hit with people from all age groups. Thank you for your active participation.”
