Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) authorities today demolished 22 fully constructed villas at the S R K Green Park venture in Bowrampet under the Qutbullapur municipal limits.
The officials razed the villas alleging that they were constructed against the rules, and without permission.
The owners who had already occupied the villas tried to resist the demolition squad, but the operation continued with police support.
The owners alleged that they were not given time to vacate the premises, and tension prevailed at the site as they started a protest.
