Hyderabad: Guards were deployed for pots

HYDERABAD: The plants and animal-shaped-pots which were part of the beautification of the city for the recently concluded Global Entrepreneurship Summit hardly looked like they would be the target of a felony.

“These thefts happened in just one day! We deployed three security guards to take care of them, but the pots are spread across different areas and the culprits have snatched them away,” the officer said. 

“We have lodged a complaint in the Gachibowli police station,” bemoaned a GHMC officer. 

The pots are being removed temporarily until they can be bolted to the ground in some way, said the GHMC official. 

CCTV footage is being examined to trace the culprits, said a police official from Gachibowli police station.
