HYDRAA removes encroachments in Fox Sagar lake FTL

The Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) has removed encroachments within the Full Tank Level (FTL) of Fox Sagar lake, restoring the water body. The agency demolished a bund stretching nearly half a kilometre within the lake’s FTL limits, along with a compound wall built along the bund to demarcate a farmhouse property.

Additionally, HYDRAA demolished a compound wall of a farmhouse belonging to former Minister Ch. Malla Reddy's family in Dulapally village, as it had been constructed after filling portions of the FTL and buffer zones with earth and a gate had been installed. Nearly 15 acres of land belonging to Mallareddy’s family were found to have been enclosed within the lake’s FTL, and the agency also removed a compound wall spread over nearly 20 acres within the FTL limits in survey numbers 41 and 42 of Jeedimetla.
