HYDERABAD: Two children walking on the road suddenly stop as they hear the national anthem being played from the loudspeakers. During Republic Day celebrations, that is what happens everywhere. But in Nalgonda town, it happens everyday. It has been happening for the last one year.
At 8. 30 am, as the national anthem is heard at 12 places across the town, traffic came to a grinding halt. People stop where they are. For the next 52 seconds, they stand in attention.
