Veteran Telugu star Nagarjuna Akkineni has expressed deep concern and disappointment following the demolition of his property, N-Convention Centre, located in the Madhapur area of Hyderabad . The property was reportedly built on encroached land within the Full Tank Level (FTL) of Thummidikunta Lake, leading to its destruction by Hyderabad Disaster Response and Assets Monitoring and Protection (HYDRA), a newly formed state government organization. On Saturday, Nagarjuna took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to voice his frustration and clarify the situation.
In a detailed note, he claimed that the demolition was carried out unlawfully, despite there being an existing stay order from the court. The actor emphasized that the property was built on legally owned land, and no part of the construction encroached on the lake's area. "Pained by the unlawful manner of demolition carried out in respect of N Convention, contrary to existing stay orders and Court cases.
I thought it fit to issue this statement to place on record certain facts to protect my reputation and to indicate that we have not done any actions in violation of the law. The land is a Patta land, and not even an inch of tank plan is encroached," Nagarjuna wrote. Addressing the claims that the building was constructed on private land, Nagarjuna pointed out that there was a stay order in place against any previous demolition notices.
He further expressed his frustration at the lack of prior notice before the.
