TRS leaders pile up pressure on Nama over road closure in Cantt

SECUNDERABAD: In a bid to put pressure on the local military authority (LMA) which has closed 14 civilian roads in the Secunderabad Cantonment area on July 18 in view of the increasing Covid-19 cases, the issue was taken up with Nama Nageshwar Rao, TRS floor leader in the Lok Sabha.
M Rajasekhar Reddy, TRS in-charge of Malkajgiri parliamentary constituency, and J Rama Krishna, vice-president of the Secunderabad Cantonment Board (SCB), on Sunday met Nageshwar Rao in the city and briefed him about the road closure and the hardships being faced by civilians living in the area.
The leaders also brought to the notice of the MP other pending issues like service charges of Rs 600 crore due to the SCB, new building bylaws, implementation of BRS and BPS schemes, central government welfare schemes and SCB employees’ transfer policies.
“The MP gave an assurance that he will take up these issues with the defence minister Rajnath Singh and would raise them in the forthcoming parliamentary session,” said J Rama Krishna.
