HYDERABAD: Stepping up its anti-encroachment drive, the HYDRAA demolished several illegal structures in the Fertilisers Corporation of India (FCI) Employees Cooperative Housing Society layout near Sandhya Convention, Gachibowli, on Tuesday.
The action followed public complaints received during the HYDRAA Prajavani programme, alleging that Sandhya Convention owner Sridhar Rao had encroached on plots within the society layout.
Officials demolished the Sandhya Convention mini hall reportedly built without approval, and kitchens, 10 restrooms and two G+2 buildings erected using steel structures. They also removed arches and a fence constructed around the encroached area.
Complainants said Sridhar unlawfully occupied adjacent plots, erased plot boundaries and left no trace of roads or park spaces. Several plot owners alleged that their legally purchased land was taken over under the name of Sandhya Convention, without permits.
