In Hyderabad, the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) continues its demolition of illegal constructions on lakes and park lands. Recently, the Nagarjuna N Convention Center was demolished, and the drive is ongoing in Rayadurgam. Under police supervision, demolitions are being executed on government land in Survey Number 72.
Town Planning officials are targeting unauthorized structures, but local residents have expressed frustration over the lack of prior notice. Confrontations have arisen between residents and demolition staff, with complaints about the sudden destruction of homes that have been occupied for decades. Political leaders have criticized Chief Minister Revanth Reddy for focusing on the demolition drive rather than addressing broader public concerns. Some have expressed support for the demolitions but warned against causing undue hardship to residents. The situation remains tense as Hyderabad faces these challenges.
