Telangana Reclaims ₹111 Crore in Public Land as Cyclone Rains Disrupt the State

Officials say the reclaimed sites will stay under watch to prevent fresh grabs.

Overview

  • HYDRAA, revenue and GHMC teams cleared encroachments at a Shastripuram park and a 1.28‑acre Jillelguda government parcel that were allegedly taken using forged documents.
  • Officials restored boundaries, installed fencing and government signage, and pegged the combined value of the recovered parcels at roughly ₹111 crore based on sub‑registrar rates.
  • Cyclone Montha weakened into a low‑pressure system but triggered IMD red alerts, with exceptionally heavy rain reported in the WarangalHanumakondaKazipet belt and widespread urban flooding in Hyderabad.
  • South Central Railway canceled 139 trains and diverted 29 as tracks flooded near the DornakalMahabubabad corridor, and the chief minister directed HYDRAA and SDRF deployments, helplines and intensified relief operations.
  • Public‑service initiatives progressed, including a 14‑week AIIMS Bibinagar–ECHO tele‑mentoring program for 300+ nurses and an IIPH–Divi’s child‑development MoU, while Andhra Pradesh officials studied Telangana’s excise model that raised about ₹3,000 crore in application fees.
