Tension in Alwal as HYDRAA Launches Demolition Drive Against Unauthorized Constructions
Hyderabad – A demolition drive led by HYDRAA (Hyderabad Road Development Authority) sparked high tension in Alwal on Thursday as officials, supported by heavy police presence, brought down three under-construction buildings alleged to be built without proper permissions.
Using JCB machines, the structures were razed to the ground while heated arguments erupted between builders and HYDRAA officials, some accusing the department of acting without due notice. However, HYDRAA maintained that the constructions violated zoning and safety regulations and were part of an ongoing anti-encroachment operation.
👷♂️ Builder Resistance & Public Attention
Several local residents and construction workers gathered at the site, witnessing the demolition and the ensuing confrontations. Despite rising tempers, police forces ensured the situation did not escalate, dispersing crowds and maintaining order throughout the operation.
💬 HYDRAA officials stated:
“The action was taken after repeated notices were ignored. Illegal and unsafe constructions cannot be allowed to endanger public infrastructure.”
⚠️ Legal Implications Expected
Sources indicate that the builders may pursue legal action, citing procedural lapses. However, city officials assert that the demolitions were lawful and part of a broader crackdown on unauthorized development across Hyderabad.
This latest action comes as urban authorities ramp up enforcement to curb illegal structures, particularly in rapidly expanding suburbs like Alwal, where land use violations have surged in recent years.
🏗️ As Hyderabad grows, the conflict between development and regulation continues to play out in real time—raising critical questions about urban planning, compliance, and civic accountability.
