SCB residents fume over Rs five crore grant-in-aid

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: Secunderabad Cantonment residents are decrying the 'meagre' Rs five crore grant-in-aid given by the Ministry of Defence to the Secunderabad Cantonment Board. According to him, their revenue sources include property taxes from residents, which is approximately Rs 30 crore and about Rs 10 crore from defence authorities, despite a proposed demand for over Rs 70 crore, and revenue in the form of service charges from the air force, which is around Rs 15 crore, state government properties to the tune of Rs two to three crore and from Telangana road transport corporation and Begumpet airport, among others. According to SCB CEO Madhukar Naik, they had sought grant-in-aid for the Rs 19 crore deficit, of which only Rs five crore has been approved. "How else can one explain Pune Cantonment, which has a population of about 98,000, getting Rs 25 crore while Secunderabad, which has five lakh population, gets only Rs five crore?"
