Hyderabad: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is on a demolition drive against buildings that have been constructed violating building norms.
The top floor of a five-storied building at M.J. Colony in Moulali was demolished on Tuesday.
The drive was initiated against illegal building constructions in Malkajgiri following a PIL filed in the High Court. Authorities had identified over 374 illegal structures in Defence Colony, Sainathpuram, Safilguda, Moulali and Malkajgiri. Authorities maintained that they would demolish over 1,000 apartments in the next few weeks.
At the demolition of the top floor of Khushi Apartments on Tuesday morning, tensed members of the Malkajgiri Flat Owners Association rushed to get stay orders from the High Court. “Though notices were given to the land owners of the apartments, we have filed individual petitions. We never knew that the buildings were not built according to norms. After all, it is our hard-earned money that has gone into purchasing them,” bemoaned Radha Krishnan, a resident of Defence Colony.
