HYDRAA secures 198 acres around Khajaguda heritage rock formations
The Hyderabad Disaster Response & Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) has fenced 198 acres of government land in the Puppalaguda–Khajaguda area to protect ancient heritage rock formations. This action follows years of advocacy by conservation groups and court directives to prevent encroachment.
Why it matters
The intervention highlights the conflict between urban development and the preservation of geological heritage and public land in rapidly growing cities.
The Hyderabad Disaster Response & Asset Protection Agency carried out a major operation on Friday to protect government land on which the heritage rock formations stand at the Puppalaguda–Khajaguda border in Gandipet mandal of Rangareddy district.
