Overview
- HYDRAA teams demolished five under-construction G+3 buildings in Shastripuram to secure a 6,500‑square‑yard playground site, while two occupied buildings were left standing.
- Officials said the reclaimed site lies in a 188‑acre HUDA‑approved layout where plots on the playground land were sold using notarised papers despite earlier GHMC demolition orders.
- In a separate action, HYDRAA protected a 968‑square‑yard park parcel in Akshaya Enclave after verifying forged documents had been used to seek permissions, with a boundary wall and gate already in place.
- The latest push follows citywide steps to fence and mark the 8.24‑acre Nagireddy Kunta lake, remove 10 roadside sheds at Bowrampet after two months’ notice, and pull down illegal rooms built over box drains in Jubilee Hills.
- HYDRAA, formed in 2024 to safeguard public assets, reports reclaiming more than 1,045 acres valued at about Rs 60,000 crore through joint inspections with municipal and revenue officials.
