HYDRAA reclaims land worth Rs 110 crore in Old City

The Hyderabad Disaster Response and Assets Protection Agency (HYDRAA) demolished encroachments in Hyderabad on Friday, October 17 and reclaimed 1.30 acres of government land worth Rs 110 crore.

The anti-encroachment drive was conducted in Kulsumpura and Goshamahal. According to HYDRAA, the land was encroached by a person identified as Ashok Singh. The man built sheds on



the encroached land and rented them to idol makers.

The HYDRAA revealed that Hyderabad collector Harichandana had urged them to protect government land in Kulsumpura. “These lands are supposed to be used for public welfare. Government considers building double bedroom houses for the poor in Kulsoompura, where even a small plot is hard to find,” HYDRAA said in a post on X.
