Advance Column 80 Miles From City Of Hyderabad
NEGLIGIBLE RESISTANCE
Poona, September 15.
Indian troops rolled over flat country from five invasion points
today, aiming their power at the heart of the Nizam's state- the city of Hyderabad-reported to be 80 miles from the ad- vance Indian units.
Indian army communiques indicated bitter fighting was occurring at the sixth invasion point at Hospet, where the Nizam's fanatical followers counter-attacked several times lost night.
The official army spokesman said the main striking force, moving straight east from Sholapur, had reached the halfway mark to Hyderabad at Rojasur. The First Armoured Division spearheaded the advance along a modern highway with virtually no resistance from either the enemy troops or the Hyderabad peasants.
