The Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) has carried out a significant operation, uncovering illegal water extraction from Sunnam Cheruvu. On Saturday, October 24, 2026, the agency's forces discreetly identified and removed dozens of pipelines concealed within residential buildings in the Guttala Begumpet area.
These pipelines were connected to pump sets and buried underground to evade detection. Utilizing heavy machinery, HYDRAA operatives meticulously excavated the pipelines and traced them back to their original sources.
