Gajularamaram: Encroachment of valuable government lands in Devender Nagar and Kaisar Nagar of Quthbullapur mandal on the outskirts of Hyderabad is going on with the help of fake documents on account of an unholy nexus between the encroachers and revenue officials. When the innocent public complain about it to the revenue staff, instead of taking action against the culprits they pass on information to the encroachers putting the complainant’s lives in risk.

The government officials promised to protect the government lands from encroachers and at review meetings convened by the District Collector and attended by local MLA Vivekananda. Contrary to their promise, the officials are ‘disposing of’ the government lands without the knowledge of other person. Illegal structures are raising daily in tens in Kaisar Nagar and Devender Nagar, but no action has been taken so far. Overnight illegal structures are coming up. Under survey number 329/1 in Katta Maisamma Nagar and under survey number 342 of Kaisar Nagar, illegal structures are being built in front of the park in the area.

When the matter was brought to revenue officials’ notice, they would counter the questioner stating that they have other business to take care of. Some others point out that the builder has political clout.The residents of the localities want officials like District Collector and so on to visit the colonies to gain first-hand knowledge of the encroachments going on. The local residents opine that it was high-time the authorities initiated action against the culprits.
