Include road closure in manifesto for GHMC elections: Citizens to parties

HYDERABAD: Voters of Kapra, AS Rao Nagar and Malkajgiri are urging all the major political parties to include ‘road closure’ issue in their manifestos.
“Our main demand is reopening 21 of the 25 civilian wards. We appeal to the political parties to include road closure issue in their manifestos along with several major issues like rejuvenating of decades-old Kapra and RK Puram lakes, improvement and strengthening of the storm water drainage system, and developing road connectivity,” said CS Chandrasekhar, secretary, North-Eastern Colonies of Secunderabad (FNECS).
“All the RWAs in these three GHMC divisions will support the party that includes these issues in its manifesto,” added Chandrasekhar.
“Though several parties, including the TRS, Congress, and BJP supported the cause of this 3.5 lakh residents and made representations to the ministry of defence (MoD), nothing much changed. The roads are repeatedly closed by the Army and we are facing a lot of inconvenience,” said a member of FNECS. General secretary of Uttamnagar Colony, K Raghavendra Rao urged the parties to support the issue. “The parties should support this issue. The problem should be resolved by laying alternative roads,” Rao said.
