**Hyderabad, August 21, 2024** — Union Minister Kishan Reddy has issued a strong condemnation of the Hyderabad Development Authority’s (HYDRA) recent demolition activities. Reddy’s remarks came in response to the ongoing operations targeting illegal constructions within the city’s buffer zone.In his criticism, Reddy questioned the legitimacy of the demolitions, emphasizing that any government should ensure the protection of properties once permissions are granted. He accused the Congress-led state government of intimidating real estate developers and criticized the actions of HYDRA, suggesting that the demolitions are unjustified.HYDRA, established to manage illegal constructions, has recently targeted several structures, including the KTR Janwada Farm House. The demolition of this particular property faced legal challenges when Pradeep Reddy filed a petition in the High Court, seeking to prevent the destruction.The court has ordered a temporary halt on the demolition of the farm house, instructing government lawyers to provide detailed information about the demolition process. Following a review of the documents, the court has directed HYDRA to adhere strictly to legal procedures before proceeding with any further demolitions.
