Will stop water & power supply to Cantonment: IT and Municipal Administration Minister KT Rama Rao today warned that the State government will stop supply of water and power to the Secunderbad Cantonment area.
On a Budget debate in the Assembly on the city development, KTR replied to queries on facilities. He took a serious exception to the officials concerned for closing down the roads causing heavy traffic problem for the people.
“The State government has been appealing to the Centre and Defense officials to open the roads in Cantonment area. We are now planning to stop supply of the water and power supply to the Cantonment area. During the rainy season Nadeem colony and other low-lying locations were being submerged and we are unable to address the issue due to closure of the roads in Golconda cantonment area.
Will stop water & power supply to Cantonment
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.
He accused the Centre and defense ministry of adamant attitude on the State appeals for opening roads. (Maxim News)
