HYDRAA secures 2.3 acre park land in Bachupally
HYDERABAD: The Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) has reclaimed and secured 2.30 acres of government land earmarked for a public park in Bachupally, Medchal–Malkajgiri district. The land is estimated to be worth about ₹300 crore.
Park land allotted in 2016
The land, located in Survey Nos. 142, 143 and 144, was officially allotted in 2016 by the then district collector for development as a public park. Authorities had planted hundreds of saplings, developed an urban nursery and created green cover. Infrastructure including a borewell, water sump, watchman room, iron gates and fencing was also put in place.
Encroachments removed after inquiry
In 2023, private individuals allegedly destroyed plants inside the park, dismantled the nursery and claimed the land as private property. A boundary wall was reportedly erected overnight.
Following a complaint received during Prajavani, HYDRAA officials conducted a field level inspection with revenue authorities and confirmed that the land was government property earmarked for a park. Acting on the directions of HYDRAA Commissioner A.V. Ranganath, encroachments were removed on Tuesday. Fresh fencing was installed and HYDRAA boards were erected identifying the land as government property.
