Telangana High Court grants relief to residents living near the Durgam Cheruvu lake, preventing authorities from demolishing their homes under claims that they infringe on the Full Tank Level (FTL) and Buffer Zone.
A woman journalist and a cameraman visited Durgam Cheruvu to report on the palatial houses built in the lake's Full Tank Level. While they were reporting, a group, reportedly followers of Chief Minister's brother Anumula Tirupati Reddy, obstructed their coverage.
As part of its ongoing crackdown on illegal structures encroaching on the Full Tank Level (FTL) and buffer zones of water bodies in Hyderabad, the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) has issued notices to 240 structures around the lake in Hitec City, the IT hub.
The man M Sai Kiran (23), a resident of Parvathnagar came to Cable Bridge around afternoon and tried to jump from the bridge into the Durgam Cheruvu lake.
