In a major operation conducted on Sunday, HYDRAA clears illegal encroachments along several busy areas in Hyderabad, including Shastripuram, Vattepalli Road, and Filmnagar in Jubilee Hills. Encroachments on footpaths and sheds erected in front of shops were dismantled as part of this drive to improve public access and road safety.

HYDRAA officials noted that unauthorized structures on footpaths not only disrupt traffic flow but also impact the city’s visual appeal. As part of ongoing efforts, HYDRAA Commissioner A.V. Ranganath has instructed teams to continue identifying footpath encroachments across various city locations. This process will be conducted in collaboration with the traffic police to help ease congestion on Hyderabad’s busy roads.
