Congress Khairatabad MLA Danam Nagender felt the removal of encroachments should begin from Old City.
Speaking with media in Hyderabad on Thursday, January 23, officials from the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) should start removing encroachments from Old City instead of demolitions in Chintal
Basti that were recently held.
“It is unfair on GHMC’s part to demolish small and micro businesses of street vendors in Khairatabad and Chintal Basti in the name of ‘Operation Rope’ (Removal of Obstructive Parking and Encroachments). These demolitions are destroying the livelihood of the poor,” he said.
