KTR threatens to cut power, water supplies to defence area in Secunderabad

Telangana’s municipal administration and urban development minister K.T. Rama Rao on Saturday said the state government will disconnect electricity and water supplies to military authorities in Secunderabad Cantonment if they do not stop causing inconvenience to the people.

Speaking in the State Legislative Assembly, he said if the military authorities failed to mend their ways the government will be compelled to take strong action, and if necessary, will stop power and water supplies.

Taking exception to closure of roads and certain other actions of military authorities, Rama Rao said both sides need to have mutual cooperation when they are living in a city.
