Bush arrives in Hyderabad

US President George W Bush today arrived in Hyderabad on the third day of his visit to India.

US Air Force One plane carrying the US President landed at the Hyderabad's tightly-guarded airport at around 0930 hours.

During his stay in the Andhra Pradesh capital for some hours, Bush is scheduled to meet students of Indian School of Business for an interaction. He will also visit the N G Ranga Agricultural University.

Andhra Pradesh Governor Rameshwar Thakur and Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy received President Bush and his wife Laura Bush at the airport in what was a low-key reception on their arrival.

As part of the US Presidential security, an aircraft resembling Air Force One first landed at the airport minutes before the actual Boeing carrying the American First Couple arrived.

Another aircraft similar to the President's plane also flew past after Air Force One's landing.

Bush signed autographs for a couple of kids who greeted him as he stepped down from Air Force One.

With a ring of US security agents around, Bush and his wife walked up to a helicopter that carried them to the Agricultural University.
