BRS working president KT Rama Rao accused the Congress government of demolishing poor homes to raise funds for real estate interests, delayed completion of Warangal super specialty hospital, and prioritising luxury constructions over public welfare.
The State government released Rs.50 crore to Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) towards establishment of offices, purchase of vehicles and payments of bills related to demolitions and others.
The High Court has disposed a batch of writ petitions filed by landowners in Patelguda Village in Ameenpur who alleged that officials from the HYDRAA demolished their properties, accusing them of encroaching upon government land in Survey No.12, without proper notice or survey.
Revanth Reddy's statement has raised concerns among house owners with valid permits, as many remain homeless after previous demolitions despite having secured all necessary permissions
The residents, many of whom have lived in their homes for decades, expressed their frustration at being labeled as encroachers despite having valid approvals and registrations.
It does not make sense to demolish houses, which were built before 30 years with municipal permissions and registrations besides paying all kinds of taxes, he said
Several hundreds gathered at Telangana Bhavan on Saturday to voice their concerns over the ongoing demolition drive linked to the Musi riverfront beautification project
Realtors who constructed structures in the full tank level and buffer zone of water bodies in the erstwhile Karimnagar appear to be now having demolition nightmares after the drive taken up by HYDRAA in Hyderabad
Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy said there were complaints from different sections that citing HYDRAA, a few ground level officials were threatening building owners and were involved in corrupt practices
