The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) on Wednesday demolished multi-storied structures in Gurukul Trust lands, Madhapur.

GHMC Commissioner DS Lokesh Kumar said the town planning wing of the civic body had identified a total of 44 unauthorised structures in Gurukul Trust lands. Of these identified unauthorised structures, 36 were demolished with small machinery,



cutters and other equipment between June 29 and July 14, he said.
