Hyderabad: Residents of Madhava Hills Colony, Kondapur, are facing severe inconvenience due to illegal road encroachment beside Good Times Wine Shop. Certain individuals have blocked the main access road, preventing residents from reaching their buildings and causing major disruptions to daily life.
Residents Demand Immediate Action Against Encroachment
The blocked road is a crucial entry point for the colony, and its unauthorized obstruction has left many residents struggling to access their homes. Locals have raised concerns that allowing such encroachments to continue will set a dangerous precedent, leading to further misuse of public infrastructure.
Appeal to GHMC for Urgent Intervention
The residents are urging the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) to take immediate action to remove the encroachment and restore access. If not addressed quickly, this issue could worsen, making it even harder to reclaim public roads in the future.
As per GHMC’s town-planning rules, no colony or gated layout can put up a gate or barricade without authorisation. GHMC town-planning officials maintain that they rarely give such permission.
“Colonies barely approach us with such requests, but put up barricades themselves. We remove them based on complaints,” said an assistant city planner from GHMC.
Authorities Must Act Swiftly
Encroachments on public roads violate civic regulations and disrupt normal life. GHMC officials must inspect the area, clear any illegal structures, and ensure that such incidents do not repeat.
The residents of Madhava Hills Colony demand urgent action, hoping that authorities will step in to resolve the matter before the situation escalates further.
