“The State government has been appealing to the Centre and Defense officials to open the roads in Cantonment area.

Our efforts are failing as ASI officials denying permission to release water through check dams and downstream. No avail to release water from Shatam cheruvu area to Golconda downstream as ASI is denying permission. So we decided to stop water and power supply to two Cantonment areas”, the minister announced in the Assembly.

Both the Cantonment and ASI are coming in the way of development and obstructing to provide facilities, he expressed serious concern.

KTR said they will see how the officials of the Centre and Cantonment will respond to cut in supply of water and power. He slammed the Centre for its supremacy on the State as if Telangana is in other country.

The Cantonment and other officials should cooperate for providing facilities and live together, he said, adding that the way the Cantonment is not good.

We will not allow them to construct checkdams and see if they come down, he said. Also the officials at Cantonment area in Secunderabad are not ready to understand the traffic problems. We appealed repeatedly and now will see if they respond he said, adding that they will stop water and power supply to the cantonment areas.
