Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy directed officials not to disturb poor people occupying encroached land while ordering clearance of encroachments by the rich. He also backed the Owaisi brothers’ patriotism and announced Metro connectivity to Chandrayangutta within two-and-a-half years.
he said that encroachments on government lands, nalas and drains should be removed only after the poor people who encroached upon the property were provided with alternate houses elsewhere.
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.
