Amid continuing public outcry over demolitions taken up by the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) in the GHMC limits, Legislative Affairs Minister D Sridhar Babu on Saturday claimed due procedure would be followed before taking up any kind of demolition in the city and urged the opposition parties not to portray HYDRAA as



a monstrous or intimidating agency and create fear among people.
