Popular Newspaper today unearthed a major encroachment today involving Narender Reddy, brother of Telangana Minister, Mahender Reddy. In to the details, Narender Reddy started a venture in 1997 at Chandanagar. 227 Plots were allowed in the venture then and permissions were allotted after 10% land is left for parks according to the rules. 200 plots here are already sold.
After TRS party coming in to power and his brother becoming a minister, Narender Reddy rubbished all the rules and used the park space for new plots. GHMC gave permissions to the plots keeping aside all the rules for the ministers. 34 plots of 200 and 300 square yards were created out of the park space and already sold out.
Reports say that Narender Reddy’s men blackmailed colony people with revolver when asked about the encroachment. GHMC turned deaf ear despite several complaints. Recently an NGO approached National Environmental Tribunal and got status quo order on the 34 plots laid on the park space.
