He assured residents along the Musi riverbed that no pressure would be exerted on them to vacate their houses. Only after providing relief and rehabilitation, the residents would be relocated, he said while speaking at Rajiv Sadbhavana Yatra here on Saturday.

HYDRA did not demolish any structure in the Musi riverbed area. HYDRA was different and the Musi rejuvenation project was different. People, who were relocated from the riverbed area to 2 BHK houses had voluntarily demolished their houses and the government did not even demolish a brick, he claimed.

HYDRA was constituted to regulate traffic in Hyderabad to clear the accumulated trash from drains and underground drainage lines and ensure the free flow of water. It works to stop dumping of industrial waste into water bodies, he said. Adding that the agency would also be used as a tool to initiate action against those who encroach on water bodies and government lands.

The Chief Minister also said people, who constructed houses and structures with government permissions, need not fear demolitions. Similarly, real estate builders and developers also need not worry about their projects.

“People and real estate agencies can present the permissions before the officials.  there will be no issue with houses and structures that have permissions. As Chief Minister, this is my assurance, ” Revanth Reddy said. 

A few people were trying to create hurdles in Telangana’s development and affect the real estate sector in the State and were conducting false campaigns on social media, he alleged.

The Chief Minister also alleged that BRS MLAs Harish Rao, K.Tarak Rama Rao, and BJP MP Etala Rajender were opposing HYDRA with ulterior motives and to save their assets. 

The Janwadaz farmhouse and one Aziz Nagar were constructed illegally in violation of GO 111 norms.  A fact-finding committee would be constituted to check the legality of these structures if the BRS MLAs were prepared, he said, at the same time not mentioning the names of Congress Ministers and elected public representatives who had constructed farmhouses in Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar lake areas.
