Coming into landing at Begumpet Airport in Hyderabad, the above structure used to catch my attention - double wall, security towers, some sort of control tower in the middle - must have been a high security place. Indeed it is - The Cherlapalli State Jail - which I found out only today - thanks to Google Earth. The above photo was taken by me from the aircraft.

Nice picture. If you look closelly, you will notice a big circle just behind the Jail.
That is the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research's National Balloon Facility.
From there since the late 60's they launch stratospheric balloons for scientific purposes.
