GHMC park devoured by land sharks
Residents of Alinagar, in Bandlaguda, find it difficult to use the parks that were created for public use by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). Land sharks are gradually taking over the only park provided to the residents. The park encroachers have been reported to the GHMC Commissioner, Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) Minister, Hyderabad MP and the National Human Rights Commission, but no action has been taken.
