New Delhi, Sept. 15.-Indian troops tonight captured three more Hyderabad towns-Honabad, Khammammett and Suriyapet-but resistance from the State's Army and the Razakars (a militant Moslem organisation) has stiffened, according to an Indian communique.

Earlier reports had spoken of heavy fighting near Suriyapet in which the Hyderabadis lost more than 100 men killed, and prisoners and a large quantity of arms and ammunition were captured.
