SECUNDERABAD: A retired government employee and resident of Bolarum, P Sushma is fed up with the daily haggling with jawans. “They insist on Aadhaar card or some other ID proof before allowing me into the colony . Are we terrorists?” she wonders. Though the MoD did not issue any order making it mandatory to check documents of commuters at night, the Army authorities’ move of imposing restrictions on Barr Road and other civilian roads is taking a toll on daily commuters and residents.Not just this, commuters are forced to travel 8-10km extra to reach their destination because of curbs imposed along various routes. Nearly 1.5 lakh commuters use the Cantonment lanes, bylanes and roads every day to reach Secunderabad and other parts of the city. For instance, due to closure of Cantonment Garden-Rajendra Singh Road, commuters are forced to travel an extra 8km instead of 2km to reach Keesara . “They make us go round and round. It’s a back-breaking ride every day to travel the extra distance due to potholes-ridden roads,” complained P Keshava Reddy of Yapral.“I am forced to ride 5km extra to reach Shamirpet due to closure of Surender Marg-Eagle Chowk. If the military authorities allow us, we can reach the destination in 10 minutes instead of 30 minutes,” S Diwakar Reddy told TOI. Diwakar is a resident of Balaji Nagar for over three decades but his travails have only grown over the years.“We should videograph the Army’s restrictions and show them to the defence minister as a proof,” 78-year-old Raja Singh, a resident of Yapral, said.
