Illegal Constructions in Hyderabad's Chitrapuri Colony Villas Under Scrutiny

29 Aug 2024 CW Team

Hyderabad's Chitrapuri Colony villas are under investigation for alleged illegal constructions. Authorities have raised concerns over violations of approved building plans, prompting an in-depth examination of the area. The villas, located in one of the city's prominent residential zones, have reportedly deviated from sanctioned guidelines, resulting in unauthorized expansions and modifications.

The local government is conducting inspections to identify the extent of these illegal constructions. Based on preliminary reports, many villas have added extra floors or extended their premises beyond the permitted limits. Officials are now determining the appropriate legal actions to be taken against the violators.

Residents and builders involved may face penalties, including fines and possible demolition of unauthorised sections. This development highlights the growing issue of non-compliance with urban planning regulations in rapidly developing areas of Hyderabad, as authorities push for stricter adherence to approved building norms.
