Hyderabad: In a decisive enforcement action, the enforcement team of HYDRAA reclaimed 2,500 square yards of government land in Kandikal village, Bandlaguda mandal, by removing illegal encroachments on Wednesday.
The land, falling under Survey Numbers 303 and 306, was originally classified under the Urban Land Ceiling (ULC) Act. It had been unlawfully occupied by Syed Basheeruddin and Syed Ameenullah Hussain, who had constructed unauthorized RCC rooms, sheds, and shops despite failed attempts to regularize the property.
Acting on complaints from local residents submitted through Prajavani, HYDRAA conducted a site inspection and confirmed the encroachment based on official records. This was further validated by a High Court order issued two months ago, directing the removal of all unauthorized structures on the site.
Subsequently, the HYDRAA demolished four RCC structures, several tin-roofed sheds, and four shops. Signboards were installed to mark the area as government land.
During the operation, supporters of the encroachers and some local political figures attempted to disrupt the proceedings. However, with the assistance of local police, the demolition drive continued without hindrance.
The swift and firm action was welcomed by residents, who expressed gratitude to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, HYDRAA Commissioner AV Ranganath, and the revenue and police departments for reclaiming public land and responding effectively to their concerns.
