Real Estate Developer Accused of Major Musi River Encroachment

HYDERABAD, OCTOBER 22, 2025 – A damning investigation by the Hyderabad Disaster Response & Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) has revealed significant encroachment of the Musi river and a connected stream by Sri Aditya Kedia Realtors LLP. The developer is accused of illegally building on protected land during the construction of a large residential project in Manchirevula village, Gandipet mandal.

HYDRAA’s investigation, leveraging satellite data from the National Remote Sensing Centre’s Digital Elevation Model (DEM), topographic sheets, and on-site inspections, paints a clear picture of the encroachment. The agency claims the developer has encroached upon 2.34 acres of the river itself, as well as 3.03 acres of the river’s designated buffer zone. Furthermore, the investigation alleges an encroachment of 0.37 acres of a stream leading into the Musi, along with 0.48 acres of the stream’s buffer zone. The stream, which carries floodwater from nearby water bodies, has allegedly been obstructed.

Adding to the severity of the charges, HYDRAA found that the developer failed to construct a stormwater drain, a requirement stipulated in the No Objection Certificate issued by the Irrigation department.

While the developer claims ownership of 3.03 acres of land within the buffer zone, HYDRAA’s data contradicts this, placing the land firmly within the riverbed.

The investigation comes after a police complaint was filed earlier regarding the construction of a wall in the Musi river bed and the removal of Maximum Flood Level markers.

“The land status in survey number 476, where the project is coming up, is ambiguous, and there were parcels where the title is not clear.” A.V. Ranganath, chief of HYDRAA stated.

Citing the recent floods that inundated the project site, HYDRAA Chief A.V. Ranganath has ordered the Tahsildar of Gandipet to conduct an immediate re-survey of the land, accompanied by the HYDRAA survey team. The Tahsildar has been instructed to demarcate boundaries using geo-coordinates, issue notices to all relevant parties, and submit a comprehensive report detailing the land status and the extent of the encroachment within two weeks. The re-survey aims to ascertain the validity of the developer’s land claims and to officially demarcate the Musi’s natural boundaries.
