In 2021, the local residents opposed the construction of a wall by the defence authorities which has blocked the access roads to many local areas including Lothkunta, Bolarum and Alwal. For many others areas too, they have to go via Lothkunta, making the journey much longer. For example, Ammuguda to Lakdawala it used to be 2.5 km but now they have to travel over 5 km via Lothkunta.[1] The Federation of North-Eastern Colonies of Secunderabad have written to the military authorities.
