50 families hit as LMA shuts last entry point to 108 Bazar in Cantt

Mild tension prevailed at 108 Bazar, Kakaguda, in Secunderabad Cantonment on Saturday morning after Army jawans barricaded the fourth (last) entry/exit point with metal sheets. As a result, nearly 50 families, who have been staying in the area for over five decades, have to take a detour of at least two kilometres to access Karkhana-Trimulgherry stretch of the arterial Rajiv Rahadari. Three other exit points were shut in 2020.

Secunderabad: "Senior citizens, women and children will face hardship during nighttime due to the restrictions imposed by the Army," local resident T Sudhakar told TOI. "We have been using this entry (and three closed ones) point for the past five decades, but now it has been closed for security reasons," he added.
