Hydraa Reclaims Rs 100-Crore Government Land
Government land worth over Rs 100 crore fenced after demolition of compound wall
Hyderabad: HYDRAA on Friday cleared encroachments and fenced 1.30 acres of government land in Petbasheerabad in Quthbullapur mandal of Medchal-Malkajgiri district. Officials said the land forms part of 38.15 acres in Survey No. 25/2 under the jurisdiction of the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA), which had been allotted to a journalists’ housing society.
HYDRAA had earlier fenced 36.25 acres to prevent encroachments. The remaining 1.3 acres was under the possession of St Ann’s High School, which was using it as a sports ground. The school management had sought time until the end of the academic year to vacate the land.
As the compound wall was not removed after the academic year, HYDRAA demolished the structure on Friday, fenced the land and installed boards identifying it as government property. Officials said the market value of the 1.30-acre plot is estimated at over Rs 100 crore.
