Overview
- In two actions on Monday, HYDRAA secured four acres at Moula Ali and Nacharam and five acres at Miyapur’s Makta Mahabubpet near the Makta Mahabub Kunta lake bund.
- Acting on a request from the Telangana Agro Industries Development Corporation chairperson, officials verified encroachment on corporation land and removed compound walls and scrap-storage sheds while leaving occupied dwellings.
- At Miyapur, HYDRAA cleared government land used for private bus parking and commercial shutters after finding occupants relied on false survey numbers.
- Commissioner A. V. Ranganath said fake survey documentation has become a common modus operandi that fuels illegal rentals generating crores of rupees for encroachers.
- Ranganath alleged tacit backing from local officials or political leaders for such land grabs, and HYDRAA said it will install fencing and sign boards with ongoing surveillance to deter re-encroachment.
