2,500-Sq-Yard Park Saved in Gachibowli

According to officials:
- A 32-acre layout was approved in 1982 by the then HUDA
- 4,000 square yards were officially earmarked for a park
- Around 1,500 square yards had already been encroached upon and houses had come up
- Attempts were made to encroach upon the remaining 2,500 square yards claiming it as private plots
Following complaints from Telecom Nagar residents, HYDRAA conducted a field-level inspection along with Revenue and GHMC officials.
Encroachments Removed, Fencing Installed
As per the directions of HYDRAA Commissioner A. V. Ranganath, officials confirmed the land was reserved for a park.
HYDRAA then:

Residents welcomed the move, saying the park space was finally secured for public use.
