Hyderabad Apartment Residents Protest Eviction Notice for Musi Project
People who live in a big apartment building called Madhu Park Ridge have been told they must leave their homes.
The government needs the land for a river project in Hyderabad called the Musi River project.
The residents do not want to leave their apartments.
They say the government has not explained how they will be compensated or helped.
They also say their questions and objections have not been answered.
So the residents asked the High Court to step in and help them.
Earlier, the state's Chief Minister, Revanth Reddy, said the project could move ahead without taking the apartment land.
The residents want officers to answer their objections before any talk of payment.
There are 425 homes in the building, and residents want more time to meet with the government.
At least one week should be given to them, especially for older people and those living far away.
The Rajendranagar revenue divisional officer (RDO) issued notices to Madhu Park Ridge Apartments residents in Bandlaguda Jagir to vacate for the Musi River project.
Apartment owners refused to vacate until the government explains its compensation and rehabilitation proposal.
Residents filed a writ petition in the Telangana High Court against the land acquisition.
A February land acquisition notification included about 6.34 acres of Madhu Park Ridge land in Survey No. 89.
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy earlier told the Legislative Council that the Gandhi Sarovar project could proceed without acquiring the apartment land.

Resident of Madhu Park Ridge Apartments
“"Instead of discussing the objections we had given, he was talking about Award I and Award II and said that they would pay compensation. He was not asking for our suggestions or answering our objections, we are not willing to give our apartments at all. We don't want any compensation at the moment. We asked them to first answer the objections we have raised."”
