Public Concerns Over Road Closures
For several years, residents have been using these roads to reach essential services such as schools, hospitals, and markets. However, recent gate installations by the Defence Department have blocked access, forcing people to take longer and inconvenient routes. Many residents claim that these roads have been a part of their daily commute for decades.
Local citizens had earlier submitted a request for the reopening of these roads, highlighting the challenges faced by school children, elderly individuals, and working professionals. The sudden restrictions have raised concerns over emergency services as well, as ambulances and essential transport may face delays.
Assurance of Action
Understanding the seriousness of the issue, MP Jagadish Shettar visited the site to assess the situation firsthand. He assured the residents that appropriate action will be taken after reviewing necessary government documents. Discussions will be held with Defence Department officials to find a resolution that ensures public convenience while respecting security measures.
Shettar emphasized the importance of balancing national security with public accessibility, stating that authorities must work towards a solution that benefits both parties.
Officials Present at the Inspection
The visit was attended by several key officials, including:
- Former MLA Anila Benake – Representing concerns of local residents.
- Cantonment CEO Rajeev Kumar – Providing administrative insights.
- Defence Department Officials – Addressing the security concerns.
Next Steps
The matter is now under review, and further discussions are expected to take place in the coming days. Authorities will evaluate essential government documents and legal aspects before taking any final decision. Local representatives and Defence officials will continue to engage in dialogue to ensure a fair resolution.
