Congress MLC opposes demolition of illegal buildings

Hyderabad, June 25 : Congress MLC MS Prabhakar on Wednesday condemned the demolition of building belong to Ayyapa Society on Gurukul Ghatkesar lands in Serilingampally.

Speaking to media persons in the Telangana Legislative Council’s premises here, Prabhakar said that the Congress party was not defending the illegal constructions. However, since most of the occupants of Ayyapa Society hail from Seemandhra region, the demolition would send a wrong message among the people of residuary State of Andhra Pradesh. He said that action should be initiated against the GHMC officials who took no action while the illegal construction was going on.

Prabhakar said that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao should make the GHMC officials accountable to prevent illegal constructions. However, in cases where the buildings have already been constructed, the government should consider regularising such structures by levying heavy penalties. He said such a move would fetch revenue for the government while the retail buyers of those properties would save their hard earned money.   INN
