HYDERABAD: Demanding that Army authorities reopen the Golden Palm Fafa Road that has been closed for civilians for the previous three hundred and sixty five days, as regards to 200 locals including school youngsters, staged a protest on the entrance of the Golden Palm Fafa (Officers) Quarters close to Trimulgherry X Roads in the Secunderabad Cantonment on Monday.

This, they added has no longer only led to critical congestion, but in addition made commuting along the stretch unsafe for motorists and commuters.
“More than 2,000 other people use this slender trade road all through school hours. Not unusually, it is mostly chock-ablock with site visitors as it is used by scholars of 2 schools and one school positioned in the neighborhood. Opening the Golden Palm Road will ease this site visitors and make neighborhood easier,” stated M Krishank, a protesters.
The agitating citizens added how the heavy flow of site visitors has led a lot sharp upward push in depend of accidents in this selection road, with a few of them being fatal.
“Lot of my scholars take the stated road to reach school; but I am nervous as it has become very bad to commute via this road these days. In fact, holding their safety in mind, we had earlier requested Army officials to no less than let scholars use the Golden Palm Fafa Road, after checking their id playing cards, but they were reluctant to oblige. Now that the defence ministry has issued an order asking all Army roads to be opened for public use, the Army should recognize it and do the similar,” stated Father Anthony Sagairaja, major, St Joseph school.
Joining hands with them, citizens, registered under the Federation of North Eastern Colonies of Secunderabad, took a dig at a social media marketing campaign, allegedly began by armed drive personnels, against the hole of roads in the cantonment house. “We welcome and reinforce the verdict of Raksha Mantri to reopen the roads and condemn the acrimonious and powerful language getting used against civilians, politicians, and management on social media and different platforms by those opposing reopening of unlawfully closed roads. The Right to Freedom of Movement that electorate are guaranteed by the Constitution and by human ethics, should no longer be arbitrarily curtailed. Misinformation floated and sustained with a view to in some way keep roads closed isn't in any individual's hobby,” stated C S Chandrasekhar and added that reconsidering the verdict would impact lakhs of electorate.
Despite the public outcry, senior Army officials stated that reopening of roads for civilians would lead to compromising on the security of the “sensitive zone”.
