HYDRAA Restores Parks, Clears Encroachments in Hyderabad
In Hyderabad, officials from HYDRAA worked to fix several problems.
First, they restored a park in Gachibowli that had been taken over by people building houses.
The park was supposed to be 4,000 square yards, but over time, 1,500 square yards were taken over, and people tried to take the rest too.
The officials removed the illegal buildings and put up signs to keep the park safe.
Second, they cleared a road in Shamirpet that had been blocked by encroachments.
This road was meant for everyone to use, but it was completely blocked.
The officials removed the blockages to make sure the road is open for everyone again.
Additionally, they protected a park in Gopal Nagar by installing fencing around 3,300 square yards of park land and removed an illegal shed.
They also protected 6.12 acres of government land in Ghatkesar, which was being encroached upon and used for illegal plotting and sale.
The residents were very happy with HYDRAA's actions.
