HYDRAA Reclaims Land After Boy's Complaint On Play Area

Hyderabad: The multi-disciplinary state agency--Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA)--removed encroachments and reclaimed 39 acres of government land in the Raidurgam area here, following a complaint from a boy who was denied access to the area for playing cricket.

Acting on the complaint, HYDRAA on Saturday cleared the illegal structures put up by a real estate company on the land parcel, which was being offered for sale, HYDRAA officials said on Sunday.

The boy, who wrote a letter to HYDRAA a few months ago, stated that a huge parcel of land was being encroached upon and that a lake in that area had also been encroached, a senior HYDRAA official told reporters. He said that he and others used to play cricket in that area, but recently they were stopped from entering.
