Malkajgiri civic body steps up drive against encroachments across four zones

The Malkajgiri Municipal Corporation (MMC) has intensified enforcement against unauthorised constructions and encroachments on public roads, nalas, government land and other public-use spaces within its jurisdiction.

Acting on the directions of Commissioner T. Vinay Krishna Reddy, officials conducted drives across the Malkajgiri, Uppal, Kapra and LB Nagar zones, targeting unauthorised floors, sheds, gates, compound walls, projections and ramps.

In the Malkajgiri zone, action was taken against an unauthorised third floor at Fathenagar in Bowenpally. Separately, 51 encroachments were cleared between the Sainikpuri crossroads and the Nirmal Nagar crossroads in Moula Ali.

In the Uppal and Kapra areas, officials moved against unauthorised additional floors and removed sheds, gates and compound walls. Fifteen unauthorised sheds and huts were removed between Nagole Metro Station and Nalla Cheruvu. Unauthorised third-floor structures were also demolished at Chengicherla and Kuntloor, while action was taken against unauthorised upper floors at Yamnamapet and Peddamberpet.

In the LB Nagar zone, 20 projections, 10 temporary sheds and five stalls were removed along the road from Bashyam School in Saroornagar towards the Dilsukhnagar bus depot. At Hayathnagar, 34 encroachments, including 12 ramps and 22 sheds, were cleared.

The Commissioner instructed officials to keep watch over the cleared areas to prevent fresh encroachments and asked the Town Planning, Engineering and Revenue departments to work in coordination to protect public roads, nalas, government land and other public-use areas. He warned that unauthorised constructions and encroachments would attract action under the rules.
