HYDRAA Reclaims 16k Sq. Yds and Rs. 400 Crore Worth Property from Encroachment at Madhapur

Hyderabad: HYDRAA removed park and roadway encroachments at Madhapur's Jubilee Enclave, spanning 16,000 sq. yds and valued at nearly Rs 400 crore. Authorities reclaimed two parklands spread on 8,500 sq. yds, 5,000 sq. yds of roads and 300 sq. yds of government land from encroachers.

Residents and representatives of the Jubilee Enclave layout had complained to HYDRAA about the encroachments, and alleged that a man named Jai Hind Reddy had encroached on the public parks.

HYDRAA stated that the layout, which got its permits in 1995, was regularised in 2006 by the government. The parklands, which were given as a gift deed to GHMC as a part of the layout, were encroached by Jai Hind Reddy, the complainants said.

HYDRAA said that the hotel and a large hoarding erected on the site were bringing in nearly Rs 4 lakh per month in income to the encroacher, and pointed out that GHMC had issued notices earlier.

Following a ground-level inspection, HYDRAA officials confirmed the encroachments. Acting on the orders of commissioner A.V. Ranganath, the team led by ACP Srikanth and inspectors Rajashekar and Balagopal demolished the illegal structures, including a hotel shed built on government land.

Immediately after the demolition, officials fenced the reclaimed land and installed boards marking them as protected parks and government property. Residents expressed gratitude to HYDRAA for safeguarding open spaces in an area surrounded by IT offices and residential complexes.
