For the second time within two weeks, a large number of distressed bank customers in Hyderabad blocked a road after the banks claimed to have run out of money. Police had to be called in to disperse the mob.

Frustrated customers complained of waiting in queues for three-four hours only to find out that the bank has gone dry. A similar incident had taken place last week when after running out of cash, scared bank employees, pulled down the shutters before time.
Â
The mob of over 200 people blocked the old Mumbai highway, which connects Mehdipatnam to Gachibowli. The road block led to a massive traffic jam which left many stranded under intense heat for 2-3 hours.

Police intervened within half an hour of the incident to prevent the situation from getting any worse.
