HYDRAA Recovers Government Land and Lake in Ranga Reddy District
The Hyderabad Disaster Response & Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) conducted two operations in Ranga Reddy district on Tuesday to reclaim government land and remove encroachments from a lake.
In Khanamet village of Serilingampally mandal, HYDRAA secured five acres of government land in Survey No. 42, located along the road connecting Metal Charminar and the HITEX Exhibition Centre. Acting on a complaint from the Revenue Department, the agency removed two temporary sheds, a room, and fencing that had been erected on the land.
Officials stated that certain individuals had allegedly attempted to encroach upon the property, preventing others from accessing it and claiming ownership for several years. Following a request from Serilingampally Revenue authorities, HYDRAA cleared the encroachments and fenced the entire five-acre parcel. Signboards identifying the land as government property were also installed.
In a separate operation, HYDRAA removed encroachments from Marripalli Lake in Marripalli village of Abdullapurmet mandal after receiving a complaint through Prajavani. A field inspection with concerned officials confirmed that portions of the lake's Full Tank Level (FTL) area had been encroached upon.
According to a statement from HYDRAA, an RMC unit had been established on adjacent patta land, and soil was being dumped within the lake's FTL limits. Temporary sheds had also been constructed to house workers. Officials found that nearly five acres had been filled with soil in an attempt to occupy the lake area.
HYDRAA demolished the sheds, demarcated the FTL boundaries, and erected fencing to prevent future encroachments while ensuring access for agricultural activities.
