HYDRAA has released an official clarification regarding the ongoing controversy surrounding Aditya Builders and their construction project near the Musi River, addressing concerns raised by political leaders and activists. The statement provides a detailed timeline of events that led to the current construction activities along the river bank.
According to the clarification, permissions for the construction project were originally granted to Aditya Builders during the BRS party regime. However, complications arose when a retaining wall was constructed that encroached into the Musi River, prompting immediate action from authorities at that time.
The then BRS government subsequently cancelled the permissions after discovering the encroachment into the river area. When the Congress government came to power, they maintained the cancellation decision, continuing the previous administration’s stance on the matter.
Aditya Builders challenged the cancellation by approaching the High Court to contest the government’s decision. The judicial body took cognizance of the matter and directed Irrigation and Revenue officials to conduct a thorough inspection of the retaining wall construction to assess the extent of encroachment.
Following the High Court directions, officials removed the retaining wall that had been built inside the Musi River. A compliance report was subsequently submitted to the court confirming the complete removal of the encroaching structure, as per the judicial orders.
The builder provided an assurance to the court that all future construction activities would be set back within permissible limits and would not encroach upon the river area. Based on the official reports submitted by government departments and the builder’s undertaking, the High Court decided to restore the construction permissions.
HYDRAA emphasized that the present construction is being carried out strictly in accordance with High Court orders and within the legal framework. The agency clarified that all these developments, including the court proceedings and permission restoration, took place before HYDRAA came into existence as an organization.
HYDRAA has specifically urged Telangana Jagruthi chief K Kavitha and other concerned individuals raising questions about Musi constructions to take note of these facts. The agency stated that the construction activities are legally sanctioned and being monitored as per judicial directives.
