The Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRA) today submitted its report to the State government, stating that the demolition drive carried out at 18 locations had recovered 43.94 acres of land from encroachers.
The drive was carried out Mansoorabad, Banjara Hills, BJR Nagar, Gajularamaram, Ameerpet and other areas, and encroached lands were recovered from even notable persons like former union minister Pallam Raju, film actor Akkineni Nagarjuna, BRS leader Ratnakar Raju of Chintal, Kaveri Seeds owner Bhaskar Rao and Pro Kabaddi team owner Anupama. Additionally, the illegal structures in those areas were also demolished.
The State government perceives that the public has widely appreciated HYDRA's efforts to remove illegal constructions. It is considering implementing similar systems in other towns across Telangana too.
Officials have said that measures will continue to be taken to remove encroachments wherever possible and to prevent future illegal occupations.
