By U Sudhakar Reddy Hyderabad, April 5: Most US citizens are babies It may sound unbelievable. But statistics said that most of the citizens of the US and Canada living in Hyderabad are below the age of four.
A majority of the 933 US citizens who are registered with the Hyderabad police and the 577 registered with the Cyberabad police commissionarate (2007), are children holding an US passport and Person of Indian Origin Card.
Statistics revealed by the city and the Cyberabad police say that most of these children live with their grandparents. The trend has increased in the last four years.
According to police, the number will cross 8,000 in a few years. A police official of the foreigners' branch in Hyderabad said, "Children with visas of the US, Cana da, Australia and UK are being brought here by their NRI parents who go back to work leaving the kids with grandparents for more than three years." Some of the children also hold tourist visas.
Similar cases are observed in other parts of the state, particularly in the coastal districts where they regis ter with the commissioners and superintendents of police concerned.
Mr Uma Maheswara Rao, a lecturer at Chaitanya College, Kukatpally, who came to Cyberabad police commissionarate on Wednesday to register his the name of his granddaughter, a US citizen, said, "My daughter lives in Seattle and her daughter is living with us. We take care of her. She will go back to her parents after a few months."
Around 590 Canadians and 287 Australians and 416 UK citizens were registered with the Hyderabad Police Commissionarate in the last four years. In Cyberabad alone in 2007, 27 Canadians and 15 Australians were registered.
The Hyderabad police commissionarate has made arrangements to facilitate easy registration.
