The Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) has held back the final demolition notice to Fatima Owaisi College, a educational institution serving nearly 10,000 underprivileged Muslim students from kindergarten to post-graduation.
HYDRAA Commissioner A.V. Ranganath, revealed during a public interaction on X on Sunday, July 6 that while a preliminary notice had been issued over alleged encroachment on Suram Cheruvu lakebed in Bandlaguda, the final order remains pending due to ongoing Public Interest Litigations (PILs) and the sensitive social implications involved.
The Commissioner’s comments came as part of a wider engagement with citizens during an X Space, where he fielded questions about parks, land disputes, and illegal constructions across Hyderabad.
He said that among the major recoveries, HYDRAA reclaimed properties worth ₹1,000 crore at Bumrah Lake, allegedly involving AIMIM leaders, and another ₹30 crore in Chandrayangutta through encroachment demolitions.
Explaining HYDRAA’s approach to land disputes, the Commissioner said that upon receiving complaints, an officer conducts preliminary inquiries before calling both parties to submit ownership documents for verification and hearings. All proceedings are video-recorded in the presence of officials to ensure transparency and accountability.
