Obstruction of public road for movement and services 

Obstruction of public road for movement and services. I am settled in a retirement home which is not a gated community and all the roads come under Panchayat administration as they have been handed over to the Panchayat by the developer in 1999 itself.  However the developer has installed a gate at the main entrance restricting the visitors and the services to us. 

Is it not our Fundamental Right to move in freely and engage services of our own choice? Can a contract signed by us at the time of the purchase be evoked to suppress our free movement and in engaging services of our choice? Can these violations be considered as criminal acts infringing our rights? Please clarify to proceed further.
