Tank Bund Road

The Tank Bund Road runs between Hyderabad and Secunderabad, Telangana, India. The Tank Bund dams Hussain Sagar Lake on the eastern side and connects the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. It has become an attraction with 33 statues of famous people of united Andhra Pradesh.

The Pakistan Patton tank, now an attraction for visitors to the Tank Bund Road, is a War Trophy given to the 54th Infantry Division, and is one that the Indian Army had disabled during the Battle of Basantar in Pakistan, between December 15-17, 1971.[1]
