Musheerabad is a busy commercial centre, which was popularly known for the Musheerabad Jail. The jail was demolished in 2003 and the new premises of Gandhi Medical College and Gandhi Hospital were constructed in the area, which has now become a major landmark. The area is commercial in nature with the presence silk saree traders. Musheerabad is well-connected to other parts of the city through public transit.
Intercity and intracity trains are available from Secunderabad Railway Station, Vidyanagar Railway Station and Jamia Osmania Railway Station, each of which is equidistant from this area. Musheerabad is a busy place on Sundays with roadside old book vendors, iron scrap dealers and furniture sellers. The place is famous for bamboo and timber retailers and wholesalers. The Secunderabad Railway Station is two kilometres and the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport is 30 kilometres away from the area. The Metro Rail project is also passing through the area.
Places neighbouring Musheerabad are Chikkadpally, Krishna Nagar, Ramnagar, Kavadiguda, Domalguda, Ashok Nagar and Bagh Lingampally. Other major landmarks in Musheerabad are APSRTC Bus Bhavan, VST Industries, wholesale fish market Gangaputra Sangam and Sree Sai Raja Deluxe Theatre (earlier known as Rahat Mahal). Prominent people from the area include former chief minister T Anjaiah, BJP floor leader K Laxman and former MLA T Manemma.
History
Nawab Bahadur Yar Jung, one of the founding members of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), was buried in Musheerabad. The third Nizam had given this area as jagir to Nawab Arastu Jah Mushir-ul-Mulk, who later built a palace in the area in 1785. The place is named Musheerabad, after the Nawab Mushir.
Problems
The lane adjacent to Sree Sai Raja Deluxe, is a hellhole for commuters as it has become a centrepoint for passing urine. The urine streams all through the main road and emanates foul smell, adding to the woes of commuters and neighbourhood communities. The efforts made by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) authorities have yielded no results and people still continue to pitilessly pass urine due to unavailability of public toilet.
It is only after the neighbourhood communities got the entire lane whitewashed, cleaned and appointed a watchman that the lane is walk able. However this is a temporary solution and the civic body has to get serious regarding the issue and get a public toilet constructed. The most unfortunate thing is that the entire lane is blocked with barbed wire mesh. If this continues, unauthorised structures may come up in the lane. The lane is in a dire need to be checked upon.
