The complaint, lodged with the Madapur police, alleges that the convention center was built by encroaching upon the Tummidikunta pond. Reddy is seeking to register a criminal case against Nagarjuna, claiming that this encroachment has harmed the environment and violated legal regulations. The police have accepted the complaint and are currently seeking legal advice on how to proceed.
The N-Convention Centre has been a point of contention since its construction. Reports indicate that it occupies 1.12 acres of the Tummidikunta lake's Full Tank Level (FTL) area, along with an additional two acres in the buffer zone. Environmentalists and local residents have long raised concerns about the impact of such constructions on vital water bodies in Hyderabad. The recent complaint has reignited these discussions, highlighting the ongoing struggle between development and environmental preservation.
In response to these allegations, Nagarjuna has expressed his distress over the situation. He asserts that the land is legally owned and not encroaching on any protected areas. Nagarjuna claims that he has always acted within the law and is prepared to defend his position in court. He feels that the demolition of his property was carried out unlawfully and without proper notice, which he intends to challenge legally.
As this case unfolds, it serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between urban development and environmental conservation. The outcome could have significant implications not only for Nagarjuna but also for future construction projects in Hyderabad. With public interest piqued, many are watching closely to see how authorities will address these serious allegations and what measures will be taken to protect the city’s natural resources.
