Army blocks road near Rest Camp Road in Deolali

A day after the army blocked a road branching out of Rest Camp Road in the Deolali Cantonment area, a resident on Saturday approached the police against the defence forces for allegedly blocking the road opposite Kendriya Vidyalay.

Complainant Yogesh Wadhva, a founder member of Shahar Vikas Nagari Aghadi that had contested the cantonment board polls, alleged that about 100 personnel from the army area blocked the road of the civil area.

He added that if the defence personnel wanted to block the road, they should have asked the Deolali Cantonment Board to take necessary actions.

"The personnel from the armed forces came on the night of Thursday around 11.55 pm and carried out the fencing work till 2 am on Friday. The work could have been done during day time so that we got some chance to react. Further, they can serve us a show cause notice," said Wadhva, adding that there was hardly any place to exit from his residence during emergency situation.

Brigadier S Sabharwal, president of the Deolali Cantonment Board, said the road was blocked to prevent encroachments on the defence land.

He added that there were a few residences in the area with the entrance and the road on their south. The building plan of the residences also showed the entrance on their south. However, a few residents of the area had made a temporary road also on the North side of their residences, which was a defence land.

To prevent encroachment on the road, they had put a fencing on the road, he said.

Wadhva said the road was sanctioned as per the building plan. The Deolali Camp police are investigating the case.
