HYDRAA’s latest proposal focuses on residents who lost homes near Full Tank Levels and buffer zones of lakes. While its conservation actions have received public support, some locals argue that poor families who bought low-cost lands face injustice. To address this, HYDRAA plans to recommend TDR compensation for those without alternative housing or land.

Meanwhile, HYDRAA has reclaimed 1.28 acres of government land and a 976-square-yard park area in Rajendranagar and Balapur mandals. The recovered property is estimated to be worth over ₹111 crore.

The illegal plots were created using fake documents. Acting on public complaints, HYDRAA cleared encroachments and fenced the recovered land with signboards marking it as government property.

HYDRAA teams faced several challenges during the works. Bathukamma Kunta’s progress stopped briefly due to a court case. At Bum-Rukh-Ud-Daula Lake, locals claimed ownership of land inside the lake boundary. Commissioner A.V. Ranganath assured that eligible residents would receive Transferable Development Rights (TDR).

Demolition drives at Kukatpally Nalla Cheruvu and Tammidikunta Kunta met initial resistance from encroachers. However, locals now welcome the progress of beautification and cleanup works.

HYDRAA partnered with Vimos Technocrats to prepare Detailed Project Reports and design plans. After completing the current phase, HYDRAA will collaborate with GHMC, HMDA, and the Irrigation Department for the next round of lake restoration projects.
