Hydra Commissioner Ranganath faces NHRC case over demolition drive

Hydra’s ongoing demolition drive, aimed at protecting lakes by removing illegal constructions, has faced a major setback as a case has been registered against Commissioner Ranganath in the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). The complaint alleges that the actions of Hydra officials, who reportedly threatened residents with house demolitions, led to the death of an elderly woman named Buchchamma. The NHRC will conduct an inquiry into these allegations, following complaints lodged by several individuals against the Commissioner.
