Hyderabad: A significant demolition exercise was carried out early Thursday in the high-profile Jubilee Hills area, with municipal teams taking down unauthorised buildings near the well-known Peddamma Temple.
The operation, which began at first light, was led by the municipal corporation and supported by local police. Officials said the drive targeted structures built on more than 500 square yards of land, reportedly without the necessary planning approvals.
Using heavy equipment, demolition crews moved swiftly to remove the illegal developments. According to authorities, the action was part of an ongoing campaign to enforce urban planning laws in areas facing rapid, unregulated growth.
Jubilee Hills, one of Hyderabad’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, has witnessed a spike in unauthorised construction in recent years. Thursday’s action, civic officials said, was aimed at curbing that trend and reinforcing legal compliance.
Passersby gathered to watch the proceedings, which sparked wider discussions on the need for stricter oversight in the city’s real estate sector.
