Nearly two-century-old Munshi Naan faces demolition threat for Hyderabad Old City metro
Munshi Naan, a 173-year-old naan shop in Hyderabad's Old City, faces demolition to make way for the extension of the city's metro corridor. The shop, known for its 'Chaar koni Naan,' has been a local landmark since its founding in 1851. The metro project has caused controversy due to its potential impact on the city's historical and cultural landscape, with nearly 1,100 properties marked for demolition. While some oppose the metro extension, Munshi Naan's owner is seeking a new location in the vicinity to relocate his historic business.08:56 PM Feb 18, 2025 IST
