Hyderabad, June 19 (Maxim News): In a firm move to reclaim public spaces, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) launched a demolition drive against footpath encroachments in Rajendranagar on Thursday. The operation targeted illegal commercial structures that had cropped up on both sides of the Mailardevpally road, creating major hurdles for pedestrians and motorists.
Demolitions Carried Out Amid Tight Security
Acting on complaints from residents, GHMC town planning officials, under the direction of the Deputy Commissioner, deployed JCBs to raze unauthorized shops and structures. The demolition drive was carried out with a heavy police presence to prevent any untoward incidents.
Officials warned that strict action would continue against all forms of encroachment.
“There will be zero tolerance for illegal structures. GHMC will not compromise on reclaiming footpaths and public spaces meant for the people,” said a senior GHMC official.
HYDRA Steps Up Action Across Hyderabad
In parallel, HYDRA (Hyderabad District Revenue Authority) has intensified its efforts against encroachments on government lands and lakes across the city.
Notably, on May 19, HYDRA cleared illegal structures at Survey No. 145/3 near Hyder Nagar, Miyapur, where unauthorized occupants had taken over land despite High Court orders declaring it part of an HMDA-approved layout. The long-standing dispute saw resolution as HYDRA demolished the illegal constructions following the court’s directive.
HYDRA continues to monitor and act against unauthorized constructions on government lands and water bodies, responding to public grievances and court orders. The authority also holds a dedicated public grievance day every Monday to directly address complaints from citizens.
