Despite strong criticism from multiple quarters and opposition from house owners, the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) again took up demolitions in survey number 848 of Vandanapuri Colony in Ameenpur municipality on Monday morning.

HYDRAA officials said the constructions were taken up encroaching upon the road. The demolitions created tension among the citizens in nearby areas as well, as they worried about the fate of their homes.
