Remove 22A restrictions or BRS will gherao Sangareddy Collectorate: Harish Rao

The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has warned that it would lay siege to the Sangareddy Collectorate if properties placed in the prohibited category under Section 22A were not removed from the list.

BRS Deputy Floor Leader T Harish Rao on Saturday met families affected by the 22A issue at GMR Function Hall in Patancheru constituency.

The affected families said their decades-old properties had suddenly been included in the 22A prohibited list, preventing registrations and causing serious difficulties. Some also alleged that officials were demanding money to resolve their problems.

Addressing the gathering, Harish Rao alleged that



nearly one lakh houses in Patancheru constituency had been included in the 22A list.

More than 50,565 acres across five mandals had been included in the prohibited list, he said. The affected areas included around 12,432 acres in Gummadidala, 3,200 acres in Ameenpur, 8,300 acres in Ramachandrapuram, 12,300 acres in Patancheru and 13,900 acres in Jinnaram, he stated.

He alleged that the 22A issue was affecting several parts of Hyderabad and its surrounding districts.

Harish Rao questioned the reported removal of properties belonging to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy from the 22A list.
