Nagarjuna's N-Convention Centre in Hyderabad faces bulldozer action over encroachment, actor calls unlawful

| @indiablooms | Aug 24, 2024, at 09:23 pm

Hyderabad/IBNS: Actor Nagarjuna's sprawling Convention Centre in Hyderabad has faced a demolition drive by the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Assets Monitoring and Protection (HYDRA), media reports said.

The demolition has been carried out at the N-Convention Centre, which is built on 10 acres of land, for its illegal construction with the Full Tank Level (FTL) area and the buffer zone of the Thammidikunta Lake in the Madhapur area of the city.

It is alleged that the Centre has encroached upon 1.2 acres of land FTL area and an added 2 acres in the buffer.

The demolition work carried out by HYDRA started on Saturday morning.

Unlawful, claims Nagarjuna

Nagarjuna claimed the demolition drive was "unlawful" citing "stay orders and court cases".

The actor said he would seek relief from the court.

Nagarjuna posted on X, "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. In respect of the building constructed inside the private land, there is a stay order granted against any earlier illegal notice for demolition. 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."
