The residents living in these areas can commute through the cantonment roads to the other parts of the city. Although the Defence Ministry had decided to reopen the closed roads because they had been closed in violation of the provisions of Sec 258 of Cantonments Act 2006, back in 2018, the roads continue to be closed.
