Nagarjuna’s NCC self-demolishes illegal construction on lake
Part of the N-convention structure, owned by actor Akkineni Nagarjuna, was being voluntarily demolished by the management.
- N Convention Centre allegedly grabbed 3.12 acres of Thammidikunta Lake
- It used all bags of tricks to save the structure
- At last, the management chooses to dismantle banquet hall built on the bed of the lake
Hyderabad: Part of the N-convention structure, owned by actor Akkineni Nagarjuna, was being voluntarily demolished by the management. This follows the Telangana government issuing a warning that all illegal structures would be razed.
The banquet hall which was allegedly constructed by encroaching upon the Thammidi Kunta Lake has already been dismantled. The sudden demolition of the premises by the management raised many an eyebrow. But it is said that they had done so as the High Court had directed the GHMC to follow the rules in the process of demolishing illegal occupations and issue notices before resorting to demolitions. When contacted the GHMC officials told The Hans India that they were not aware of the voluntary demolition by the N Convention management. Chief City Planner (CCP) S Devender Reddy said GHMC was yet to receive the court order.
The land survey of the Thammidikunta Lake by the Revenue officials showed that the N Convention Centre had encroached upon 3.12 acres of the lake. The sprawling Convention centre measures upto 6.9 acres.
It may be recalled that Actor Nagarjuna and Nalla Preetham Reddy, who are partners in the venture, moved the High Court when the GHMC marked the Centre as illegal structure.
They argued that the GHMC did not issue them notices before taking up the survey. The High Court has directed the Telangana Government to issue legal notice before taking any action.
