Gachibowli FCI Layout Work Defies Court Order
Officials observed that roads and park areas in the layout were allegedly encroached upon, with land being levelled and excavation work underway
Hyderabad: Construction activity allegedly continued in violation of a court stay order at the FCI Employees Cooperative Housing Society layout near Gachibowli junction, prompting a site inspection by officials.
HYDRAA commissioner A.V. Ranganath and Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC) commissioner G. Srijana visited the layout on Wednesday following complaints from plot owners. Officials alleged that constructions were being carried out by Sandhya Sridhar Rao, owner of Sandhya Convention, despite a High Court stay.
Officials observed that roads and park areas in the layout were allegedly encroached upon, with land being levelled and excavation work underway. They took serious note of the violations, stating that roads, parks, and public utility spaces in the layout belong to the CMC and would be protected.
The layout, developed in the 1980s across 20 acres with 162 plots, has reportedly undergone significant alterations, prompting residents to approach authorities earlier. The matter had reached the High Court, which issued a stay on further construction.
Officials warned that strict legal action would be taken against violations of court orders and assured residents that steps would be taken to safeguard roads, parks, and public spaces in the layout.
