Officials said the Charminar would be illuminated, while the programmes would also include a laser show. Fun activities for children would include stilt walkers, jugglers, clowns, face painters, caricature artists and interactive activities like pot making, magicians and much more.

Urban Development Special Chief Secretary Arvind Kumar, who announced the programme on Twitter, had inspected the site two days ago with Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi, City Police Commissioner Anjani Kumar and Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) officials. The Charminar version of the programme was suggested by MA&UD minister KT Rama Rao and MP Owaisi.

Anjani Kumar said special parking places were earmarked for visitors arriving at Charminar.

“The special event is planned to attract more tourists to the Charminar beginning from this Sunday. A review meeting with various departments of government to make the programme a success was held. Necessary security measures at Charminar are being made by the police,” he said.

At the same time, the Sunday Funday programme at Tank Bund will be held as usual. According to Arvind Kumar, the event, to be from 5 pm to 10 pm, would ‘just be a bit subdued this time’, but all regular activities would be there.
