Hyderabad: Mild tension prevailed when Khairatabad MLA Danam Nagender created ruckus while the civic authorities were carrying out demolitions of alleged illegal structures near Shadan College in Chintal Basti on Wednesday afternoon.

The MLA who angrily marched to the spot, demanded the authorities to stop the ongoing demolitions. Nagender was also furious with the officials saying how the demolitions were taken up without his knowledge as he was the local elected representative.

He further warned that the demolitions should be stopped immediately and no action should be taken against structures until Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy returned from his Davos tour. He said that demolishing the houses of the poor was not right.

On Hydraa, Danam Nagender had earlier claimed to have told the authorities not to show their strength on the poor dwellers in slum areas. There were many alleged illegal constructions, he said suggesting they should be demolished.

The Saifabad police and Khairatabad police personnel reached the spot to pacify the MLA and ensured he left the spot. Later, they took the situation under control. Additional police force was deployed at the demolition spot to prevent any breach of law and order.
