Mumbai, Aug 24 Veteran Telugu star Nagarjuna Akkineni has reacted to the demolition of his property N-Convention Centre located in the Madhapur area of Hyderabad.
The property was allegedly found to be built on encroached land in the FTL of the Thummidikunta Lake in Hyderabad, and was razed to the ground by the newly constituted state government organisation, Hyderabad Disaster Response and Assets Monitoring and Protection (HYDRA).
On Saturday, the actor took to his X, and penned a long note as he claimed that the structure was demolished despite a stay order from the court.
He wrote, “Pained by the unlawful manner of demolition carried out in respect of N Convention, contrary to existing stay orders and Court cases. I thought it fit to issue this statement to place on record certain facts for protecting my reputation and to indicate that we have not done any actions in violation of law. The land is a Patta land, and not even an inch of tank plan is encroached”.
Talking about the claims of the building constructed inside the private land, the actor said that there is a stay order granted against any earlier illegal notice for demolition.
He further mentioned in his tweet, “Today clearly, the demolition was carried out wrongfully based on misinformation. No notice was issued prior to carrying out the demolition this morning. As a law-abiding citizen, if the Court before, which the matter is pending, had decided against me, I would have carried out the demolition myself”.
“I am placing this on record for the purpose of correcting any public misimpression about wrongful constructions or encroachment by us. We would be seeking appropriate relief from the Court in relation to the wrong actions carried out by the authorities”, he added.
HYDRA was introduced by Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on July 12, 2024, it organisation formed under the National Disaster Management Act, and was set up to manage natural disasters and to protect government properties, curb encroachment of ponds and lakes and to get rid of illegal constructions and structures.
