MP lobbies with LMA to reopen 14 Cantt roads

SECUNDERABAD: The Local Military Authority (LMA) is prone to reopen the rest roads in Secunderabad cantonment which are nonetheless closed. The LMA has reopened only 11 of the 25 roads, which have been closed 4 years in the past. It is but to reopen 14 roads.

A delegation led by Malkajgiri Lok Sabha member Ch Malla Reddy on Saturday met N Venkat Reddy, OSD to General Officer-Commanding (GOC), Telangana and Andhra Sub Area (TASA). The leaders recommended the LMA to reopen the rest roads too for the benefit of hundreds of people dwelling in colonies around AOC and other army institutions.

"We have insisted that army officials reopen the roads as the ministry of defence issued orders to the effect. If the roads are not reopened by Monday, we will take up the issue with Union Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on May 29 in Delhi," Malla Reddy informed STOI.

The LMA is analyzing feasibility of reopening of last 14 roads in Secunderabad Cantonment. It is gathering data from the heads of all army devices, he stated.

Army officials clarified that just about the entire roads were reopened. Only a couple of inner roads where defence institutions are located don't seem to be reopened. The officials informed the MP that the closed roads are used for normal parade throughout morning hours.

He stated the LMA will learn about the studies of unit heads and take resolution. He stated those roads will likely be stored open throughout the day, if now not round the clock.


Malla Reddy stated he would proceed the combat until the entire roads are reopened in pursuant of the MoD's orders.


Meanwhile, the LMA deployed 10 squaddies at Wellington road on Saturday morning. This is in view of the morning walkers protesting over denial of access.


On Saturday too morning walkers were stopped at Wellington Road. "We showed MoD orders but they did not allow us," stated E Manoj, resident of Marredpally.
