Shiva walked towards a neighboring chicken shop in HMT Nagar lane, Habsiguda on Wednesday (April 1, 2026) morning only to find his to close even though it was 11am, as he expected the shop to be open, he checked in at a nearby bike repair shop where he was pointed to a banner hanging outside.
“My relatives who live in Gachibowli are coming to visit us today and we thought we would cook chicken for them. I didn’t know about the strike. Just yesterday when I was returning home from office, I saw that the shop had a busy line of customers,” he said.
