Saibaba huts settlers jittery as their votes go missing
People living in 600 huts at the foot of the Gun Rock hill at Trimulgherry are a worried lot as the Secunderabad Cantonment Board decided to delete voters who live in government lands in SCB limits.
Trimulgherry: People living in 600 huts at the foot of the Gun Rock hill at Trimulgherry are a worried lot as the Secunderabad Cantonment Board decided to delete voters who live in government lands in SCB limits.
The residents of Saibaba Huts in Ward 7 who migrated from Palamuru decades ago started living at the foot of the hill close to a Saibaba temple and hence the name Saibaba Huts.
B Shiva, president, Palamuru Yuvajuna Sangam said, “The SCB is bent on deleting the names but about 150 families who were living here were given apartments in the JNNURM scheme. We have been living here for over 30 years and now they want to remove us from voters list.”
Officials at SCB say that they have been just following the Supreme Court directions which stipulate the removal of names of those living in encroached lands. The huts are built in Defence lands and the Local Military Authority (LMA) too does not allow the dwellers to constructed permanent concrete houses and toilets.
The hut dwellers say that about 500 votes are missing, and this would affect them as they would not be able to get benefits from the government. SCB officials say that close to 35,000 voters would be deleted from the list in the Secunderabad Cantonment limits.
