The encroacher, a tenant, had rented a house and illegally occupied government and public land surrounding the property without the owner's knowledge. This individual was operating hotels and hostels by encroaching upon the road and nala, generating an estimated ₹10 lakh in monthly rent.
HYDRAA Commissioner A V Ranganath stated, “Two acres of park land or nala land worth more than Rs 200 crores is reclaimed. Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has decided to develop a good park on this land very soon.” The GHMC plans to transform the reclaimed land into a well-maintained park to benefit the local community.
HYDRAA had previously issued notices to the tenant regarding the illegal structures. However, the tenant challenged these notices in court. The court ruled that the tenant had no rights over these constructions and criticized the illegal encroachment of the road and nala. Following the court’s orders, the structures built by encroaching on the nala and road were demolished.
The Telangana government established HYDRAA last year to address the increasing urban challenges faced by Hyderabad, particularly concerning disaster management and the protection of public assets from illegal encroachments. HYDRAA has been given the authority to register and investigate cases, combat land grabbing and encroachment, and reclaim government lands, roads, parks, ponds, and canals.
Recently, on May 8, the first HYDRAA police station was inaugurated at the B-Block of the Buddha Bhavan in Secunderabad by Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy. This police station will play a crucial role in enforcing HYDRAA’s mandate and ensuring the protection of public assets in the city and its surrounding urban local bodies.
The successful reclamation of the park land in Jubilee Hills is a significant achievement for HYDRAA, demonstrating its commitment to addressing urban challenges and protecting public assets. The development of a new park on this land will not only enhance the quality of life for residents but also set a precedent for future anti-encroachment drives in the city.
