In a strong statement, the chief of the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Assets Protection Agency (HYDRAA) said that no political pressure will stop ongoing demolition drives in Hyderabad.
What the chief said
The HYDRAA chief made it clear that the agency will continue to remove illegal constructions and encroachments, regardless of political influence. He stressed that the work is being done strictly according to law and is aimed at protecting public land and infrastructure.
Why demolitions are happening
The demolition drives are part of a larger effort to:
- Clear encroachments on government land
- Remove illegal buildings near Lakes, Roads and Drainage systems
- Prevent flooding and urban problems in the city
Officials say many structures being removed were built without proper permissions or in restricted zones.
Political angle
The strong statement comes amid criticism from some political leaders who have questioned the demolitions. However, the HYDRAA chief said the agency will not be influenced by politics and will continue its work.
Public reaction
The drives have received mixed reactions:
- Some residents support action against illegal constructions
- Others have raised concerns about sudden demolitions and lack of notice
Conclusion
HYDRAA has made its position clear the demolition drives will continue as planned. The focus, officials say, is on law enforcement and protecting the city, not politics.
