- Encroachments cleared in Yellareddyguda
- Complaint filed in Praja Vani regarding issue pending since 1961
- Immediate response from HYDRA Commissioner Ranganath
HYDRA, known for its firm action against encroachments and violations, has swiftly resolved a six-decade-old issue. Officials cleared encroachments on a park near Madhura Nagar Metro Station in Yellareddyguda, reclaiming 1,533 square yards of park land.
Back in 1961, a layout was developed over 5 acres under the name "Sai Sarathi Nagar," in which 1,533 square yards were earmarked for a park. However, the heirs of Narayana Prasad, who developed the layout, illegally occupied the park land by erecting a shed and even obtained a house number for it through unauthorised means.

Finally, representatives of the Sai Sarathi Nagar Residents Welfare Association lodged a complaint through the Praja Vani public grievance platform, prompting immediate action from HYDRA Commissioner Ranganath, who ordered a thorough investigation.
HYDRA officials, in coordination with various departments, confirmed the encroachment and cleared it completely. With this, HYDRA has effectively brought closure to a 60-year struggle.
