BRS accuses govt. of seeking to evict 4,000 families to favour realtor

A BRS-led team visited Seven Hills, Western Meadows, and other colonies in Narsingi, Gandipet mandal, on Saturday to inspect the red markings made by HMDA officials for a planned 100-feet road expansion. Former Ministers and Deputy Floor Leaders T. Harish Rao, P. Sabitha Indra Reddy, D. Sudheer Reddy, Dasoju Sravan, and Rajendranagar BRS in-charge P. Karthik Reddy were among those accompanying Mr. Rao during the visit.

Residents of the affected families stated that their buildings were marked for demolition despite having all permissions and occupancy certificates. Mr. Rao alleged that the government was seeking to evict about 4,000 families residing in 2,000 apartments to benefit a single realtor who is known to be close to influential powers.

He emphasized that the government should work for the people and not for private interests, adding that a historic Hanuman temple was saved when the master plan was amended in 2018, but now there is no apparent public interest in the 2026 gazette.
