Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) carried out a demolition drive at Pocharam over alleged encroachment by Nalla Malla Reddy (NMR) on Saturday, January 25.
The demolition was conducted on 200 acres of land which houses nearly 2200 plots, under Narapalli Divyanagar. More than a thousand Singareni employees have bought plots here. NMR has built a high compound wall around the layouts developed in the name of ‘security’.
In there complaint, residents alleged that they weren’t allowed to step out of the compound.

The building’s compound wall which reportedly encroached 10 acres of land in Narapalli Divyanagar was demolished by HYDRAA using 12 bulldozers.
Few residents also raised issues regarding the lack of good roads, drainage and just two entry and exit points for six colonies.
“Twenty-five per cent of plots in these layouts are owned now by NMR or his benamis for the last 15 years, those who opposed the encroachment were physically assaulted,” said one of the complainants.
