Land Sharks Play Hide and Seek Keeping the Official on Their Toes

With a chink in the system’s armour, the land sharks in Rajendranagar and neighbouring areas are making frequent attempts to encroach upon Musi River, water bodies and even the government lands putting the revenue officials on their toes. However, the officials lacking a gung-ho, are claiming that they are chasing the land sharks hiding behind the curtain to prevent such incidents.

During the last two weeks there were around three cases of encroachments in Rajendranagar area that keep the revenue officials busy in chasing the land sharks playing behind the scene. The land sharks first tried to encroach upon the land of Musi river front followed by attempts to trespass into Appa Cheruvu Lake and a government land in Mailardevpally area.

The first trespassing attempt was reported on Musi River Front at Hyderguda side on 22nd June prompted the officials to rush the spot and clear the nala block by dumping the landfill besides taking help of the local police to weed-out perpetrators behind the curtain.

However, another attempt came to light at Appa Cheruvu Lake in Gagan Pahad area only a week later. The officials seized three lorries on 1st July for dumping gravel in the lake area with ulterior motives. The Shamshabad airport police is investigating the matter by keeping the vehicles into its custody.

This goes one further with one more case of encroachment was reported on 3rd July from Mailardevpally area under Rajendranagar where a team of revenue officials, after a local tip off, has stalled the work of stone blasting on government land pumping the support from the local police.

“We have cleared off the encroachments over Musi River Front area at Hyderguda side and are regularly monitoring the area. We even took three vehicles into custody for trespassing into Appa Cheruvu lake area at Gagan Pahad and handed it over to airport police. We will carry out a fresh survey again on Monday or Tuesday to demarcate the lake area and to establish the actual spot where the encroachment happened. Similarly, we have prevented another attempt of encroachment on government land at Sy.No.52, under Mailardevpally yesterday. Regular monitoring and impromptu actions are being taken to fend off encroachments on Musi River, Lakes and government lands here in Rajendranagar,” claimed K.Chandrasekhar, Mandal Revenue Officer Rajendranagar
