In Hyderabad, the N Convention Center, owned by actor Nagarjuna, is facing demolition due to encroachment issues. Local authorities have started this action based on reports that the convention center was built illegally on a local water body, Tammedi Cheruvu.
Allegations and Investigation
Reports claim that the N Convention Center was constructed on 3.5 acres of land that was originally part of the lake. Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (HYDRAA) officials began investigating after receiving complaints. The center reportedly occupies 1.12 acres of the Full Tank Level (FTL) area and an additional 2 acres within the buffer zone of the Tammedi Kunta lake.
Ongoing Issue
The investigation into the N Convention Center has been ongoing for several years. The action is part of efforts to address illegal constructions within the FTL area and buffer zone of the Tammedi Kunta lake, which covers approximately 29.24 acres.
Roads Closed and Demolition in Progress
Bhaskar Reddy, the complainant, had submitted a petition to HYDRAA officials demanding action to restore the lake. Police have been deployed to the site, and all roads leading to the N Convention Center are currently closed. No one is allowed to enter the site. HYDRAA officials arrived early on Saturday morning to begin the demolition process.
