Hyderabad: Intensifying its efforts against illegal constructions and encroachments, Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) removed illegally constructed walls that were obstructing public roads in various parts of the city Wednesday.

The HYDRAA operation was prompted by several complaints from residents who had reported about the illegal constructions in the colonies to the authorities.

Acting on the complaints, the authorities removed a wall constructed by residents of the NRI Colony in Kapra Municipality, Medchal-Malkajgiri district. The removal of this obstruction has restored access to four colonies – Senior Citizen colony, Shanti villas, Lakshmi villas, Gowrinathpuram, and Vampuguda colony.
