Mausoleum of Hoshu Sheedi (Mudassir Islam Sheikh)[]

Grave of Hosh Mohammad Sheedi
The mausoleum of Hosh Mohammed Sheedi, popularly known as Hosho Sheedi, who died in a war against the British invasion on March 24, 1843, is in shambles as the waste material and garbage from the nearby village are being dumped at the site. The historical shrine is situated at Dubee, a small village situated some 10 kilometers from the Hyderabad city.
It was built many years back to pay tribute to the war martyrs and was declared a heritage site. But this old tomb is being destroyed as there is no proper system of disposing waste and garbage. However, the Sheedi community members had built concrete walls around Hosho Sheedi’s grave to protect it from further damage.
