Hyderabad Agency to File Criminal Cases Against Officials for Allowing FTL Construction

The Hyderabad Disaster Response and Studies Monitoring and Protection Agency (HYDRA) has decided to file criminal cases against officials who allowed construction within the Full Tank Level (FTL) of lakes and tanks in Hyderabad. HYDRA has requested the Cyberabad Police Commissioner to file criminal cases against six officials, including the Bachupally Tahsildar, Deputy Commissioner of GHMC Chandanagar, Assistant Planning Officer of HMDA, and Nizampet Municipal Commissioner. The action follows the recent demolition of illegal constructions in Bachupally, where officials allegedly ignored complaints from locals regarding the construction despite receiving numerous grievances. HYDRA officials discovered that these complaints had been dismissed. HYDRA Commissioner A.V. Ranganath, who reviewed complaints from local residents and charge sheets against the officials, ordered the demolition of the illegal structures.
