HMDA to conduct drive from April 29

The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) will be conducting a special drive to identify unauthorised layouts and initiate action accordingly from April 29 to May 10.

Municipal Administration and Urban Development Principal Secretary and HMDA Commissioner Arvind Kumar directed planning officers, assistant planning and junior planning officers to identify unauthorised layouts in their jurisdictions.

After identification of such layouts, notices will be served to developers or owners concerned. After May 10, strict enforcement action, including



demolition, will be taken up. Under no circumstances, unauthorised layouts will be allowed to develop.

If any unauthorised layout is detected after May 10, disciplinary action will also be taken against officers responsible.

The HMDA has urged the people to verify the list of approved layouts from its website ‘hmda.gov.in’ and purchase plots in approved layouts only to avoid any hardship or loss in the future. Sub-Registrars have also been urged not to register plots in unauthorised layouts, said a press release.
