Secunderabad Residents Protest Inundation, Question Infrastructure
Imagine your house floods every time it rains.
That's what's happening to some people in Secunderabad.
A group meant to help retired army people built some buildings and changed the way water flows.
This caused water to flood nearby homes.
Even though officials acknowledged the problem, nothing has been done to fix it.
Residents are upset because their homes keep flooding, and they feel that the officials aren't doing enough to help.
The residents are now planning to protest to get the issues resolved.
Residents in Secunderabad face repeated flooding during monsoon season.
The AOC Regimental Association is accused of diverting nalas (drains) and building unauthorized structures.
The disputed land is adjacent to the Army Ordnance Corps Centre.
A function hall was constructed in 2015 without proper approvals, later regularized.
Residents are preparing to escalate protests due to lack of infrastructure improvements.
