HYDERABAD: Telangana government has resumed demolitions along the Musi River in Chaderghat and Shankarnagar Basti as part of its beautification initiative. Structures marked "RBX" were brought down again on Wednesday, with officials clarifying that these were previously vacated homes in the river’s catchment area. According to the Musi Riverfront Development Corporation Limited (MRDCL), this is a continuation of earlier clearing efforts, not a fresh demolition drive.
“These homes were vacated months ago, and residents were relocated to 2BHK units. The contract workers only removed the remaining debris through a private contract tender,” an MRDCL official said. Around 10 houses were demolished on Wednesday.
Four months ago, GHMC and revenue officials marked these structures for demolition as part of the Musi cleaning initiative. However, since the process has been incomplete, some residents have returned and reoccupied the structures, prompting authorities to resume clearing them. Officials indicated that similar demolition work would continue along other sections of the riverbank in the coming days.
