Dr Nageshwar, MLC, has demanded the HMDA authorities to immediately stop the illegal acquisition of lands and withdraw the notification issued in this direction.
Speaking at a round table organized by the Hyderabad Residents Forum here today, he criticized the attempts being made by HMDA to get the Balakrishna colony, Saikrishna colony, Venkatsai Colony and Nagarjuna colony vacated and acquire the lands in the name of public purposes and development. He demanded that this move should be stopped forthwith.
Dr Nageshwar questioned where was the need to get the colonies vacated, cause loss to the poor residents and acquire the land when hundreds of acres of Government land was available in the adjacent area. He warned that a peoples’ movement would be launched if the HMDA failed to stop the proposal of private land acquisition. (NSS)
