HYDRAA’s Swift Action Against Illegal Encroachment
The land in question, located under Survey Numbers 303 and 306, was initially categorized under the Urban Land Ceiling (ULC) Act. However, it had been unlawfully occupied by Syed Basheeruddin and Syed Ameenullah Hussain, who had constructed unauthorized RCC rooms, sheds, and shops despite multiple failed attempts to regularize the property.
The operation was triggered by numerous complaints from local residents through the Prajavani initiative. After conducting a site inspection and reviewing official records, HYDRAA confirmed the encroachment, which was further validated by a High Court order issued two months ago directing the removal of all unauthorized structures.
