Army officials had inspected the area after construction of buildings which includes the engineering college of MP Suresh Angadi. The army had objected to the college being there but no action was taken.

    The firing range is in force since decades…. Wonder who should have the problem. The Army or the newly inhabited residents.

    thanks to rapid urbanization, this was bound to happen, i m not supporting the army or the pvt land owners, but its dangerous to have a firing range in the midst of residential area. n about the college, such a huge construction takes at least a couple of years to complete, wat were the army authorities doing for these two years and how in the first place did the college get approval to begin work, its all baffling

      @ Prasad,
      How can army firing range functions amidst the civilian habitats. As the nearby farmers and students lives are in danger ( by fatal incidents) it will be wise to move the firing range.
      Hope the govt will respond to residents request..
