CM Revanth Reddy Addresses Musi Rejuvenation Project Concerns

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy responded to concerns regarding the Musi rejuvenation project, claiming that "economic terrorists" are attempting to destabilize the real estate sector and state economy by inciting fear over potential demolitions by the Hyderabad River Development Authority (HYDRAA).

"As CM, I assure genuine realtors, builders, and those with building permissions that there is no need to worry," Reddy stated at an event honoring senior Congress leader J. Geetha Reddy with the Rajiv Sadbhavana Award at the Charminar in Old City. "No legal building will be touched. Only encroachments and illegal structures in flood risk zones and riverbeds will face demolition."

To alleviate these fears, CM Revanth assured that the government would support legitimate realtors and property owners and provide comprehensive rehabilitation packages for those in need. "There will be no pressure on landowners and those with building permissions to vacate. However, the government will take action against those spreading misinformation about the Musi project and HYDRA," he asserted.

Additionally, he proposed forming a fact-finding committee or an all-party delegation to evaluate the legality of farmhouses owned by KTR and Harish Rao in Janwada and Azeez Nagar. "KTR, Harish Rao, and Eatala Rajender are misleading the public to protect their interests. People should realize these leaders are using their positions to shield their illegal constructions," he stated. He invited them to demonstrate in front of their farmhouses instead of rallying around the Musi bed, claiming it was merely to safeguard their unauthorized properties.

The CM also criticized these leaders for allegedly discharging waste into the Osmansagar and Himayatsagar reservoirs, which supply drinking water to millions in Hyderabad. "We will crush all such violators and criminals in the riverbeds and flood risk zones. It's the encroachers who fear demolition, not the poor," he declared.

Revanth clarified that HYDRAA had not demolished any structures in the Musi riverbed area and emphasized the differences between HYDRAA and the Musi rejuvenation project. "People who were relocated from the riverbed to 2 BHK houses did so voluntarily; the government has not demolished a single brick. HYDRAA was established to manage traffic in Hyderabad, clear drains, and prevent industrial waste dumping into water bodies," he explained, reaffirming the agency's commitment to combat encroachments on government land and water bodies.
