Intercity and intracity trains are available from [[Secunderabad Railway Station]], [[Vidyanagar Railway Station]] and [[Jamia Osmania Railway Station]] – each of which is equidistant from this area.

Musheerabad is a buzz place on Sundays, with roadside old book vendors.<ref>[http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-downtown/article962433.ece?textsize=large&test=1 The Hindu article on old book vending in Hyderabad.]</ref>

== History ==
The historic old portion of [[Musheerabad Masjid]] was constructed during the [[Qutb Shahi dynasty|Qutb Shahi]] era.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/030618/hyderabad-the-grandeur-of-qutb-mosque.html|title=Hyderabad: The grandeur of Qutb mosque|date=2018-06-03|work=Deccan Chronicle|access-date=2018-07-20|language=en}}</ref> Later the mosque and surrounding area were given as a ''jagir'' to [[Arastu Jah|Nawab Aratu Jah, Mushir-ul-Mulk]] (then [[Prime Minister of Hyderabad]]) and named in his honour.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.knowap.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=54:a-history-behind-street-names-of-hyderabad-a-secunderabad&catid=14:cover-features&Itemid=69|title=A History behind Street Names of Hyderabad & Secunderabad|last=Administrator|website=www.knowap.com|language=en-gb|access-date=2018-07-20}}</ref>

The area housed the [[Musheerabad Jail]] until 2003 after which it was demolished and a new hospital and the new premises of [[Gandhi Medical College]] were constructed in the same area.<ref name="prison_hospital">{{cite news|url=http://www.hindu.com/2004/06/15/stories/2004061513980300.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040618125350/http://www.hindu.com/2004/06/15/stories/2004061513980300.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=18 June 2004|title=Gandhi Hospital begins a new era|date=14 June 2004|newspaper=[[The Hindu]]|access-date=22 September 2010}}</ref><ref name="college_hospital">{{cite news|url=http://www.hindu.com/2003/11/09/stories/2003110910910300.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040101080656/http://www.hindu.com/2003/11/09/stories/2003110910910300.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=1 January 2004|title=No official sanction for new Gandhi Hospital complex?|last=V|first=Geetanath|date=9 November 2003|newspaper=[[The Hindu]]|access-date=22 September 2010}}</ref> Most of the recent development of Musheerabad has occurred following the construction of the Gandhi Medical College and the adjoining Gandhi Hospital, one of the largest public hospitals in [[Telangana]]. Several postgraduate medical entrance coaching centres, restaurants and apartments have sprung up in the area, owing to the large number of medical students residing in Musheerabad. The presence of the hospital has also led to several diagnostic labs and pharmacies opening their branches in Musheerabad. A separate station for [[Gandhi Medical College]] has also been planned on the [[Hyderabad Metro]] rail network.

== Neighbourhoods ==
[[Chikkadpally]], [[Ramnagar, Hyderabad|Ramnagar]], [[Kavadiguda]], [[Domalguda]], Ashoknagar, [[Bagh Lingampally]], Gandhinagar, [[Parsigutta]] and [[Padmarao Nagar]] are some of the localities surrounding Musheerabad.
