HYDRAA demolishes tilted four-storey apartment in NTR Nagar

A four-storey apartment in Gopanpally’s NTR Nagar was demolished after it developed a dangerous tilt. Officials evacuated residents before using HYDRAA’s Bahubali hydraulic machine. Tension prevailed as residents and domestic workers protested against the demolition

Hyderabad: Amid tension, Disaster Response Force (DRF) teams from HYDRAA, along with the town planning and engineering wings of the Cyberabad Municipal Corporation, jointly demolished a four-storey apartment building in NTR Nagar, Gopanpally, on Saturday.

The building tilted slightly on September 18, prompting officials to carry out an immediate emergency evacuation to prevent a catastrophic collapse. They also evacuated residents of adjoining houses.

HYDRAA deployed ‘Bahubali’, a high-reach hydraulic machine, to demolish the high-rise structure at NTR Nagar while avoiding damage to adjacent buildings.

Lakshmi, a domestic worker from Narsapuram in West Godavari district, wept bitterly as she watched her dreams turn to dust. Built just last year, the structure developed a dangerous tilt, forcing its immediate demolition and shattering a lifetime of hard-earned savings.

Tension escalated at the site after residents and a group of domestic workers stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Lakshmi. They engaged in a heated standoff with police and CMC officials in an attempt to stop the demolition, but law enforcement personnel blocked their efforts and allowed the demolition to proceed.
