HMDA authorities today demolished three illegal constructions on a three-acre piece of land worth Rs 45 crore abutting the Outer Ring Road (ORR) on the Hyderabad-Vijayawada national highway in Pedda Amberpet village of Abdullapurmet mandal of Ranga Reddy district.
A team led by HMDA's ORR land acquisition officer V Victor along with the local Tahsildar, police and enforcement DSP Venkatesh reached the spot and demolished five under-construction houses, their compound walls and gates.
They also identified the persons who had constructed the illegal houses and lodged criminal complaints against them.
The then Ranga Reddy district Collector had handed over the three acres to the HMDA after conducting a Panchanama on December 31, 2010. The State government gave the piece of land to the HMDA in order to allow it to allot it to those who had lost their lands in the ORR project.
Speaking on the occasion, the officials warned land sharks of dire consequences if they encroached upon any of the HMDA lands.
