Residents of Madhu Park Ridge have decided to challenge the proposed Gandhi Sarovar Project legally, citing displacement concerns due to land acquisition. They plan to file a PIL by month-end after reviewing the government’s project presentation and DPR in the Assembly.
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy defended the demolition of Madhu Park Ridge apartments under the Gandhi Sarovar project, stating that the complex was built illegally within the 50-metre buffer zone of River Esa. He alleged that builders misrepresented the river as a drain to secure permissions in 2004.
Land acquisition issues and protests by residents have delayed the Gandhi Sarovar Project linked to the Musi Riverfront Development Project in Hyderabad. Families of Madhu Park Ridge apartments fear displacement, while officials say the land falls within the buffer zone
BRS leader T Harish Rao has accused the Congress government of pushing a real estate-driven agenda under the Musi Riverfront project. He criticised eviction notices served to residents of Madhu Park Ridge apartments, alleging the project was designed to benefit corporate interests rather than beautify the river.
