HYDRAA on Tuesday reclaimed 7,200 square yards of land in Medchal-Malkajgiri district that was designated for a park and markets in a 1983 layout but had been walled off by private individuals. The Chamundipatnam Colony Cultural and Welfare Association complained through HYDRAA's Prajavani programme, leading to an inspection by the agency along with municipal and revenue officials. After verifying original records, HYDRAA removed the encroachments, erected fencing and installed signage identifying the land as protected. In a separate operation, HYDRAA fenced one kilometre of Saki Lake in Patancheru, Sangareddy district, after irrigation officials reported persistent soil dumping by trucks into the 100-acre waterbody. Residents thanked the agency for the intervention.
