In a recent interview, Ranganath clarified that the individuals affected by HYDRA’s actions are not victims but rather individuals who have violated urban planning regulations. He emphasized that the authority has always been cautious about evictions, particularly in areas with small huts and informal settlements. As an example, he cited the case of the N-convention, where demolition was carried out only after proper notice and coordination with the authorities.

Ranganath also addressed specific incidents that have garnered public attention.

The catering business owner in Kukatpally had received prior notice about the demolition but failed to communicate with the tenants, leading to the unfortunate situation.
