In a significant move, Hydra Commissioner penned a letter to the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) regarding construction in ponds. The letter urged the cancellation of permissions for constructions in Flood Flow Channels (FTL) or buffer zones, emphasizing the need to review and verify existing permissions.

Specifically targeting illegal constructions in ponds, Hydra called for the cancellation of permissions for building on five ponds, including Komatikunta. This stern approach aims to preserve the ecological balance and prevent encroachment on vital water bodies.

Meanwhile, Hydra’s enforcement activities have extended to areas like Kukatpally, Kishtareddypet, and Patelguda in Aminpur Municipality, where structures on government lands have been demolished. Notably, significant areas in Nallacheruvu FTL, Shantinagar buffer zone, and Kishtareddypet, Patelguda have been cleared of unauthorized constructions.

On a parallel front, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy emphasized the importance of addressing encroachments on ponds and canals. Directing officials to identify residents in Musi catchment areas, the focus is on providing alternative housing solutions. Measures to safeguard inner and outer ponds, including the installation of CCTV cameras, have been mandated to enhance surveillance and deter illegal activities.
