Telangana High Court is investigating Hydra. Commissioner Ranganath attended virtually.
–Galla S Kiran Kumar, Bureau Chief
The High Court expressed anger that why demolitions are being carried out on Saturdays, Sundays and after sunset. Why do you have to work on Sunday? She asked why they are giving notices during holidays and demolishing urgently. It was reminded that there were previous court rulings not to demolish on Saturdays and Sundays. She asked the tehsildar whether he was aware of the court rulings as well. Don’t you know that the case you dismissed earlier was stayed? she asked. The Tehsildar was warned that if he did not follow the law, he would face trouble.
“Don’t proceed illegally just as political leaders and high officials say. Was the owner given any last chance before the house was demolished? In the name of protection of government property, will the innocent people be put in trouble?”, asked the high court. Hydra directed Commissioner Ranganath to answer the questions asked by the court. They replied that they have provided machinery and staff for demolition on request. The High Court asked. Hydra has warned that if it goes ahead in this way, it will have to give a stay.
“What is the urgent need to demolish unless it is vacated? Do not work illegally to satisfy the political bosses and to please the higher officials. A dying person is also asked for his last wish, right? Don’t you know that demolitions on Sunday are against the High Court’s ruling? Officials will go home if they work illegally.. Be careful.
It is not right to try to change Hyderabad in one day
20 lunch motion petitions have also been filed against Moosi. Considering that this is a rare case, the authorities have been called for investigation. According to Zivo, Hydra has many functions. Ignoring the rest, they focused on the demolitions. Hydra is also responsible for the traffic problem. But he didn’t care about it at all. Do you know how long the journey takes in Madapur? If the rules are not followed, the formation of Hydra will have to be stayed. Common people are building houses only after registration by sub registrar. Construction of houses is undertaken only after the permission of the local body. Common people have to suffer due to lack of coordination between government departments. The three-judge bench ruled that demolitions should not take place on Sunday. If you find illegal constructions, can you seize them? Hydra’s setup is commendable.. performance is objectionable. The behavior of Aminpur Tehsildar and Hydra Commissioner is unsatisfactory. It is not right to try to change Hyderabad in one day. “How can it be concluded that FTL is illegal?” asked the High Court. The hearing was adjourned to October 15. HYDRA has directed Aminfur Tehsildar to continue the status quo till then. She said that the counters should be filed.
