The four officials P. Krishna Murthy, G.V.R.R. Prasad, Satyanarayan and S. Umashankar were overseeing the demolition drive at various locations in the city. Meanwhile, HMDA commissioner T. Chiranjeevulu appointed planning officers G. Jayalakshmi, B. Bheem Rao, S. Ramesh Babu and T. Satyanarayana Murthy in place of the transferred staffers.
