Historic 174-Year-Old Munshi Naan Building Demolished for Hyderabad Metro
A very old building in Hyderabad that was famous for making special bread called 'Munshi Naan' was torn down.
This building was 174 years old!
It had to be removed because a new train line, called the Metro Rail, needs to be built there.
The people who owned the naan shop agreed to move and even got money for their building.
They plan to open their shop again in a new place very soon.
Many other buildings will also be removed for this new train line.
The 174-year-old building that housed the famous 'Munshi Naan' eatery was demolished.

The eatery plans to resume operations from a new premises shortly.
