In a recent interview, A.V. Ranganath, the chief of the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA), stated that no politician can stop the agency's demolition drives. Ranganath emphasized that the operations are carried out based on court orders and are aimed at protecting public assets and water bodies.
Ranganath's comments come amid ongoing demolitions of illegal constructions in Hyderabad, particularly those encroaching on lakes and other water bodies. The agency has faced criticism from some political figures, but Ranganath maintained that the law must be followed without interference.
The HYDRAA chief also noted that the agency is committed to transparency and will continue its work regardless of political pressure. He urged the public to cooperate with the authorities to ensure the city's sustainable development.
