Overview
- A HUDA-approved 1982 layout in Telecom Nagar reserved 4,000 square yards for a BSNL employees' park, with about 1,500 square yards already taken over by houses.
- After field verification ordered by HYDRAA chief A. V. Ranganath, officials cleared fresh encroachments on the remaining parcel, installed park boards, and erected fencing.
- HYDRAA teams arrived with earth movers and Raidurg police, demolished makeshift shelters, and faced resistance from families who said they received no prior notice.
- In Shamirpet’s Friends Colony, HYDRAA cleared walls and a gate that had blocked a 20-foot road laid out in 1987, restoring the link to the Shamirpet police station road.
- Local residents in Shamirpet reported relief as access returned after more than 15 years of obstruction.
