HYDERABAD: The tussle between Army and civilians in Secunderabad Cantonment area over closure of some roads is getting uglier by way of the day. On Friday morning, much to the chagrin of citizens, jawans performed workout routines on roads that were to be thrown open to civilians. The message used to be transparent — These roads belong to us and there’s no approach we can open them to the general public.
After jawans blocked roads for a few hours and stalled vehicular and pedestrian motion, the Green Sainikpuri Federation of North East Colonies of Secunderabad posted footage of jawans exercising on roads and tweeted to defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman, saying civilians living in Secunderabad Cantonment area are ‘truly scared of the current state of affairs’.
Jeetender Surana, vicepresident of Cantt-India, instructed TOI, “For past two days, automobiles are being stopped close to Golf Course in Bollarum. They are doing it intentionally to make public select an argument with them. They also are protecting video cameras. Our high affect of the military is converting. This sends the wrong sign. They have closed Eagle Chowk Road. Everywhere on the roads, they are challenging Aadhaar playing cards and RC books like police. They aren't following orders issued by way of the defence ministry. Instead of making sure a cordial dating, they are instigating public.”
The Local Military Authority in spite of orders from the defence ministry has no longer completely opened roads, resulting in an outcry from civilians. One S Anoop Kumar, who posted footage of army jawans on his twitter account, wrote, “Armymen doing physical workout routines on the major roads disrupting the traffic, protecting passersby, inflicting prolong resulting in frustration and outburst.”
Policy analyst and academician Mohan Guruswamy on his Facebook submit stated, “The Army in Secunderabad is leading jawans to exercise on the just lately opened roads to disrupt traffic. It is downright silly making an allowance for the roads run thru vast open grounds, over 300 acres, maintained by way of the federal government as training areas. The only access to jawans this is when they are required to wash and lawn the 2 Golf Courses. In all my years right here, I have never noticed jawans on these roads except when they are tending to Golf Courses and the vast gardens of bungalows. Even retired officials avail of products and services of jawans in my neighbourhood. Don't challenge me, I will submit the photos. The LMA will have to prevent being childish and try to seek a optimistic resolution(sic).”
When contacted, defence spokesperson refused to comment whilst the Local Military Authority used to be no longer to be had for comment.
Meanwhile, retired Lt General HS Panag, in reinforce of the military, tweeted, “Long distance march and a couple of.5 km/5 km run can't be performed in unit areas. Since times immemorial performed on Cantt Roads.”
