Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Disaster Response and Assets Protection Agency (HYDRAA) successfully reclaimed 2,500 square yards of government land in Kandikal village, Bandlaguda mandal, after removing illegal encroachments on Wednesday, May 7.
The land, situated under Survey Numbers 303 and 306, had been unlawfully occupied by Syed Bashiruddin and Syed Ameenullah Hussain, who constructed unauthorised sheds and RCC rooms despite failed attempts to regularise the land under the Urban Land Ceiling (ULC) Act.
The encroachment came to light following complaints from residents through Prajavani about the illegal occupation of government land. Acting on the complaints, HYDRAA officials conducted a site inspection and confirmed the encroachment after cross-referencing with official records. Notably, the High Court had issued a clear directive two months ago to remove the illegal structures.
HYDRAA, in coordination with local police, demolished four RCC rooms, four reed sheds, and several shops built on the land. Signboards marking the area as government property were also installed.
The local community expressed their gratitude to HYDRAA for acting swiftly and effectively.
