Arvind Kumar, responding to the



Minister’s tweet, said he would take it up with the General Officer Commanding, Telangana & Andhra Area and sit with their team to try and arrive at mutually agreeable openings at the earliest.

“A total of 21 roads have been closed in SCB jurisdiction in 2018. We will submit the documents on roads closure and inconvenience faced by public in the meeting,” he said.
