I tried to do some research on Nayapul (New bridge - as against Purana Pul, old bridge) but got precious little. Also did not get a good shot of it. It is the road that connects the new city to heaven - the old city restaurants like Nayaab. Shadab, Nimrah and Laad Bazaar ad so on. It was built in 1859 according to Wiki during the regime of the 5th Nizam Afzal Ud Dowla. Afzal Gunj was named after him since he gifted land to grain merchants.

Beyond Nayapul was the Salar Jung museum and beyond that the Chaderghat bridge. For now we decided to call it a day and pottered around on the bridge looking at the Music river and the attempts to make a riverfront which Ahmedabad did so. Some day I hope they get to do that.

The more I see of Hyderabad, the more I am convinced that it has enough to be named a heritage city as are Ahmedabad and Jaipur.
