HYDERABAD: The Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) on Monday eliminated a compound wall in Praneeth Pranav Antilia developed by the Praneeth Group, during which Madhavaram Sandeep Rao, son of Kukatpally BRS MLA Madhavaram Krishna Rao, is a key stakeholder.
HYDRAA officers stated the motion was taken after following due course of and in accordance with instructions of the Telangana High Court.
The wall had been constructed across the Praneeth Pranav Antilia group housing format, which authorities stated had blocked a 40-foot highway between Mallampet and Bachupally. Because of the obstruction, commuters travelling from the Outer Ring Road (ORR) Exit-4 at Mallampet to Pragathi Nagar have been pressured to journey almost eight kilometres as an alternative of the shorter three-kilometre stretch.
With the removing of the wall, officers stated that residents from a number of close by colonies can now instantly entry the highway via Mallampet village and Bachupally crossroads, decreasing journey distance by about 5 kilometres.
HYDRAA commissioner A.V. Ranganath stated, “As per the High Court directions to follow the due process of law, HYDRAA had issued notices to the Praneeth Pranav Antilia group housing layout to remove the compound wall built around the layout.”
He additional stated, “Praneeth Antilia is not a Gated Community as per HMDA approved plan. There are no peripheral roads. For the past 12 years, this layout residents were enjoying the benefits of a gated community, despite theirs being a normal group housing layout.”
HYDRAA, on June 24 of 2025, had demolished the compound wall of Praneeth Pranav Antilia, after figuring out that the format will not be a gated group and can’t assemble any wall alongside the perimeter of the format.
Ranganath stated, “After removing the wall, the Praneeth Antilia Society went to the High Court, and we presented our arguments before the court.”
Ranganath stated visitors on the Mallampet-Bachupally highway had elevated sharply after the opening of ORR Exit-4, resulting in extreme congestion, and added that a number of colonies within the space had requested HYDRAA to open various routes to cut back visitors strain.
Following discussions with HMDA and the visitors police, the company determined to open the highway passing via the format. HMDA additionally started laying a bitumen (BT) highway alongside the stretch, which officers stated can be accomplished by Monday night. “After issuing a speaking order on Friday, HYDRAA removed the encroachment today strictly following the court order”, Ranganath added.
Earlier within the day, residents of Praneeth Pranav Antilia protested towards the demolition of the compound wall. Minor scuffles have been reported through the protest as officers and staff started eradicating the construction.
