Motorists faced immense problems on Sunday night after the police closed down the Panch Mohalla lane near Charminar for vehicles.
The police pointed out that the lane, hosting juice centers and tea stalls, had become a hub for late-night visitors, causing inconvenience to local residents.
Local residents complained to higher officials about the late-night nuisance in the lane. The police barricaded the road near the Charminar bus stand junction, redirecting vehicles intending to go towards Khilwat through Shahalibanda New Road.
