Irrigation department officials recently visited the Janwada farmhouse on the outskirts of Hyderabad. During their visit, they took measurements and checked the property to ensure it follows the rules. The farmhouse has been in the news lately due to claims that it was built illegally on public land.
The controversy around the Janwada farmhouse started after Pradeep Reddy filed a petition in the High Court. He requested a stay order to stop the demolition of the property, arguing that the demolition might not be legal.
In the past few weeks, the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) has been tearing down illegal constructions around the city’s lakes. These actions target buildings that violate rules by being within the Full Tank Level (FTL) and buffer zones, which are areas meant to protect water bodies. One significant demolition was that of the N Convention Center, which also violated these rules.
Before taking any further action on the Janwada farmhouse, irrigation officials carefully measured the property to check if it was within the restricted areas, like the FTL, buffer zones, and drainage channels. After a recent court session, the officials were reminded to strictly follow the proper procedures.
There have been allegations from Congress leaders that the farmhouse belongs to K.T. Rama Rao (KTR), a well-known political figure in Telangana. These claims have added to the controversy. As the inspections continue, everyone is watching closely to see what the irrigation department will do next about the farmhouse. The situation remains tense, with legal and political implications hanging in the balance.
