Sankranti was celebrated with gaiety and religious fervour in Hyderabad on Saturday.
If the mornings saw families in colourful attire making a beeline to the temples, the afternoon witnessed a different kind of celebration. Eyes were turned to the skies as families took to kite-flying on terraces and spotting cut kites flying in the air.
Some open-air spaces like Necklace Road, NTR Stadium, Begum Bazar, Dhoolpet, Parade Ground, Musi river bed, Golconda Fort, Feelkhana and hillocks that dot the city were turned into battlegrounds with the results flying in the air.

Besides seeking permission for an investigation by the CID, the syndicate members also sought to appoint the custodians and assistant custodians from government and aided colleges, and evaluators from different universities in neighbouring districts for the re-evaluation of the answer papers of all 6,566 students as part of investigation.
