In the wake of recent order’s of the Hon’ble High Court and the security implications, Army authorities have decided to enforce restrictions in a gradual manner to regulate the civil traffic on the stretches of internal Army roads around the AOC Centre, Secunderabad i.e., Entrenchment road, Wellington Road, Gough Road and Ordnance Road. Night restrictions from 10:00 pm to 07:00 am will be enforced with effect from Thursday i.e 2nd October, 2014 on all the above mentioned roads of the AOC Centre and subsequently, the dates for further phases of restrictions to be implemented will be communicated, giving due considerations to the sensitivity of the local population and to cause minimum inconvenience to the commuters. Meanwhile, heightened security measures and monitoring of the civil traffic are being enforced with immediate effect with a dual aim of addressing the security and functional concerns.
In a press release, Army Authorities said that in a recent judgment of the Hon’ble High Court of Telengana and Andhra Pradesh has upheld the Army’s legitimate authority to restrict and regulate the civil traffic on military roads in view of the security and functional considerations and simultaneously vacated the stay order and dismissed all the petitions.
Army authorities have also convened a meeting of the Residential Welfare Associations’ representatives at Shakti Auditorium near Officers Mess of AOC Centre tomorrow on 30th September, 2014 at 4:30 pm to clarify implementations modalities. (NSS)
