The Secunderabad Cantonment Board took up demolition of illegal structures in front of Jubilee Bus Station (JBS), Secunderabad, in the early hours of Wednesday.
The SCB took to clearing encroachments and ensure security arrangements for the Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s visit tentatively scheduled on September 17.
“Over the past two decades, encroachers
operated businesses such as hotels and eateries by encroaching on Class C (Cantonment) land of the Secunderabad Cantonment, located in front of the JBS (exit entry) on the left side.
They also encroached on the nala and erected iron sheds. Although SCB served notices several times, the encroachers ignored them and continued their operations” a senior SCB official told news reporters.
