KTR targets defence establishment for creating ‘obstacles’
The Hindu
Minister refers to instances of road closures, State’s inability to develop roads
Municipal Administration Minister K.T. Rama Rao today said that it appears as if the defence establishment ran a “parallel government” and a “parallel system” by setting up obstacles to development of road infrastructure in Hyderabad.
“They feel they are not part of the State,” he said at a press conference while referring to instances of closure of roads and the inability of State government to develop roads running through the cantonment.
He cited the frustrating experience of driving through Paradise - Shamirpet and Patny - Kompally roads as they were choked with traffic and commuters taking hours to reach their destination as they are narrow. This was brought to the notice of Prime Minister and Defence Minister several times with a request to let the State government develop them.
