Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court commented that the GHMC’s action against illegal constructions is merely nominal. It was found to be wrong that despite receiving numerous complaints in this regard, the GHMC has taken only limited action.

It was also found to be wrong that they are issuing show-cause notices to illegal builders and remaining silent on the complaints. It was stated that orders are being issued only in some cases. It was suggested that complaints related to illegal construction should be included on the website. Doing so will make the public aware of illegal constructions.

For implementing the orders issued by the High Court and the Supreme Court, the help of the GHMC Commissioner and police can be sought. High Court Justice N.V. Shravan Kumar recently heard a petition filed by Mukund Soni and two others, challenging the lack of action on complaints filed by a person named Gyan Shekhar against illegal constructions in the Kothi area of Hyderabad.

However, the illegal constructions were sealed. After this argument, the hearing of the case was adjourned until April 27.
