HYDERABAD: A Secunderabad Cantonment Board-based non-governmental organisation, Cantonment Vikas Manch, has proposed a protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi on December 2. Protest is to oppose ‘The Cantonment Bill-2021’ and demand merger of SCB civil areas with GHMC.
A 15-member delegation led by Cantonment Vikas Manch secretary, S Ravinder, had gone to Delhi to make arrangements for the protest. “On Monday, a requisition was given to the deputy police commissioner, Delhi, seeking permission for the protest,” Ravinder said.
“We met Malkajgiri MP Revanth Reddy in Delhi and demanded he raise the issue in the winter session of Parliament. NGO representatives also met Nalgonda MP N Uttam Kumar Reddy,” said Ravinder. “Telangana MPs have to support the SCB merger issue in Parliament,” he added.
