, who conducted a surprise inspection on Wednesday.
The layout, spread across approximately 17 acres and consisting of nearly 190 plots, previously saw parks and roads being illegally occupied by one
Sammireddy Bal Reddy
using alleged forged documents. Following complaints by affected plot owners through the public grievance platform 'Praja Vani', HYDRAA took action and cleared

raised on roads and public spaces. This offered a brief respite to the plot owners.
However, in a blatant violation, Sammireddy allegedly resumed construction on the same site, once again obstructing public areas.
Plot owners attempted to stop the ongoing activity, but were reportedly assaulted and driven away by him. They subsequently lodged a fresh complaint, triggering the HYDRAA commissioner's field visit.
Speaking at the site, commissioner Ranganath assured residents that all encroachments, particularly those on roads and parks marked in the original layout, would be cleared once again. "We will conduct a thorough inquiry and initiate criminal proceedings against those responsible for the illegal occupation," he said, assuring strict action.
The commissioner also visited the newly developed lake in Koheda village following complaints that some plot owners hand encroached upon the water body. A detailed inspection was carried out to assess the situation.
