A four-storey building on a 40–50-square-yard plot at NTR Nagar in Gopanpally was demolished on Saturday, a day after cracks appeared and it tilted. Residents of the building and adjoining houses were evacuated. HYDRAA’s Disaster Response Force and Cyberabad Municipal Corporation’s Town Planning wing used HYDRAA’s high-reach hydraulic machine, ‘Bahubali’, to limit risks to neighbouring buildings. The building was allegedly constructed without permission. Gachibowli police registered a case against Viswanathapalli Lakshmi and others under Sections 125 and 290 of the BNS, following a complaint by the Serilingampally Assistant City Planner.

Separately, CMC removed 201 encroachments across 16 circles during a Saturday road-clearing drive covering about 9.9 km across three zones: Serilingampally removed 56, including 23 in Patancheru and 15 in Ameenpur; Kukatpally removed 67, including 35 in Madhapur; and Quthbullapur removed 78, including 26 in Gajularamaram and 15 in Jeedimetla.

Former minister T Harish Rao demanded removal of over 50,000 acres from the 22-A prohibited properties list in Patancheru assembly constituency. Nearly one lakh houses in Patancheru constituency included in 22-A list.

Acreage by mandal: Gummadidala 12,432 acres, Ameenpur 3,200 acres, Ramachandrapuram 8,300 acres, Patancheru 12,300 acres, Jinnaram 13,900 acres.

Total across five mandals: 50,565 acres.

Harish Rao stated people have lived in these colonies for 30 to 40 years, many layouts developed decades ago with government permissions, and residents have electricity, water and property tax connections.

Residents of Ameenpur and Gandhamguda near Gandipet opposed proposed sewage treatment plants (STPs), citing pollution, foul odour and potential health risks.

On Saturday, Ameenpur residents staged a protest demanding that the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply & Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) relocate the proposed 100 million litres per day (MLD) STP to a suitable non-residential area, in compliance with applicable norms and following proper public consultation.

Industrial Employees Cooperative House Building Society lodged complaint over alleged encroachments in layout at survey numbers 996 and 997 in Beeramguda village, Ameenpur mandal. Layout originally developed in 1982 across 180 acres with around 1,650 plots. Portions allegedly being illegally occupied and sold in parcels of 100 square yards each. Society claimed another 30-acre layout under its name also being misused and sold as separate venture. Urged authorities to safeguard designated parks and roads within both layouts. Complaint received during HYDRAA weekly Prajavani on Monday alongside 41 other grievances about waterlogging, encroachments and flooding. HYDRAA Commissioner A.V. Ranganath and Additional Director Varla Papayya directed concerned departments to take necessary action.

Eight villages merged into Ameenpur municipality five years ago launched a relay hunger fast demanding creation of an additional GHMC division with Kistareddypet as headquarters. The area has approximately 1.20 lakh voters but only two divisions were created after Ameenpur's recent merger into GHMC. Leaders argue that GHMC wards with 20,000 voters exist in Hyderabad, but the region with 1.20 lakh voters is restricted to two divisions. They seek a new division covering 80,000 voters across the eight villages, citing rapid development and new colonies coming up annually. Leaders warned of protest escalation unless the government creates the additional ward.
