Hyderabad: The Hydra clears illegal construction operations that continued in Hyderabad as teams reclaimed government land worth over ₹139 crore in Rajendranagar on Wednesday.
Hydra officials, along with revenue and municipal staff, removed illegal sheds and small buildings in Janachaitanya Layout Phases I and II at Badvel and Upparapally villages. The teams reclaimed 19,878 square yards of land from encroachers.
Hydra clears illegal constructions and reclaims encroached parks
Officials said Hydra teams freed four parks that local encroachers had taken over in the layout. The Janachaitanya Layout, spread across 120 acres, had earlier received HUDA approval, but private individuals later occupied open plots.
Hydra acted after receiving complaints from residents about encroachments in the layout. The team inspected the site with revenue and municipal officials and confirmed the illegal activities.
After inspection, Hydra demolished compound walls, sheds, and rooms built on occupied plots. The team also cleared encroachments covering 3,000, 1,000, and 500 square yard plots.
Officials began fencing work immediately after the demolition to secure the land. They estimated the recovered property’s value at more than ₹139 crore and said the operation would continue in nearby areas.
