Hyderabad: “The TRS government will turn into ‘merciless land bandits’ as far as illegally occupied prime government lands are concerned,” said Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao.

“Forcible reclamation land will be done in and around the city” he added. The Chief Minister has decided to come down heavily on those occupying government lands worth thousands of crores in Hyderabad and neighboring Ranga Reddy and other districts. According to Sources KCR asked revenue, GHMC and other departments to identify the illegal occupants and measures to evict them, both forcibly and legally were under process.

“Just four pieces of government land in Hyderabad will get Rs 20,000 crore. Huge tracts of government lands are encroached. We will evict them at any cost and use the land for better purposes including new housing colonies for poor and welfare schemes. Our housing scheme will cost `10,000 crore,” KCR said at a function in the city.
