Underprivileged Residents Evicted, Wealthy Obtain Stay Orders
The ongoing Musi River rejuvenation project in Hyderabad has exposed a stark wealth disparity among residents living along the riverbanks. While underprivileged dwellers have been evicted without much legal recourse, property owners with deeper pockets have managed to secure stay orders against demolition drives.
Numerous Houses Protected by Stay Orders
Numerous houses and housing colonies in the Musi river’s embankment areas, including Chaitanyapuri, Phanigiri Colony, Satyanagar, and Kothapet, now display notices of stay orders obtained from the Telangana High Court. These orders protect the properties from the government’s demolition efforts.
Contentious Resettlement Process
The recent evictions of residents living on the banks of the Musi River have created tension in Hyderabad. While many underprivileged residents have been relocated to government-built 2BHK flats, those with the financial means to afford legal battles have managed to secure temporary safety from eviction.
HYDRA’s Efforts to Clear Encroachments
The Hyderabad Disaster Response and Assets Monitoring and Protection (HYDRA) has been actively clearing encroachments on lakes across the city, which has garnered both criticism and praise. However, the resettlement of Musi river residents has been a contentious issue, with initial opposition from residents eventually giving way to government-led evictions.
KTR Offers Legal Assistance to Affected Residents
In response to the evictions, Bharat Rashtra Samithi working president KTR announced that his party’s legal team would be available to assist those affected by the Musi Riverfront development project. This offer of legal aid aims to provide support to individuals facing eviction due to the project or HYDRA’s demolition efforts.
