HYDRAA's Demolition Drive: Aggressive Action Continues, but Focus Shifts to Alleged Encroachments

HYDRAA, the demolition agency responsible for clearing encroachments in Hyderabad, has been undertaking a series of aggressive demolitions, particularly on weekends. While their actions have been met with criticism, the recent comments from the High Court seem to have prompted a slight reduction in the intensity of their operations.

HYDRAA Commissioner Ranganath, in a rare media interaction, provided some clarity on the agency's approach. He confirmed that the agency is focused on demolishing structures built on encroached land, including ponds, lakes, and other public spaces. He emphasized that the target is not ordinary citizens, but individuals involved in illegal construction, and that no compromises will be made.

Addressing the controversy surrounding the agency's actions, Ranganath stated that the demolitions of colleges belonging to Mallareddy and Palla Rajeswara Reddy, including Owaisi Medical College, are imminent. While notices have already been issued, the agency is delaying the demolitions due to the ongoing academic year, to minimize disruption to students.

Ranganath further clarified that HYDRA's objective is not to target the homes of the poor. Instead, their focus is on high-end villas constructed on encroached land. He assured that the agency is acting in accordance with the High Court orders and adhering to legal procedures.

Regarding the Juvvada Farmhouse, allegedly belonging to KTR, Ranganath stated that the area falls under the jurisdiction of Jive 111, not HYDRAA. He emphasized that HYDRA has no authority over that particular property.

HYDRAA's activities continue to be a subject of debate, with concerns about the impact on residents and businesses. The agency's renewed focus on structures alleged to be built on encroached land, particularly those belonging to influential individuals, raises further questions about the fairness and transparency of their operations.
