Hyderabad HYDRAA asset protection and flood mitigation

Entities: Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency · Telangana government · Uppal Nalla Cheruvu · Hyderabad · A. Revanth Reddy

Overview

In early June, HYDRAA reported safeguarding public land worth about Rs 1.10 lakh crore and warned that incomplete storm‑water drains and uncleared nalas left 535 water‑logging points across the city, with knee‑deep flooding in Gachibowli and Kondapur. On 18 June, the agency launched the second phase of Ramanthapur Pedda Cheruvu restoration, clearing 18 acres of illegal encroachments and planning two‑bedroom homes for the 36 families displaced; it also refuted allegations of tender irregularities in vehicle procurement. By early August, resident welfare associations in Madhura Nagar, Srinivasa Nagar and Ameerpet held rallies supporting HYDRAA and Commissioner A. V. Ranganath despite a High Court order for his removal. The rallies highlighted recent drainage work in Ameerpet, where six blocked lines were cleared and pipelines under the metro were repaired, reducing water‑logging. HYDRAA’s ongoing projects, including the Rs 20‑crore Uppal Nalla Cheruvu revival, have now protected roughly 3,325 acres of government land valued at Rs 1.50 lakh crore, while Telangana’s per‑capita income rose to Rs 4,18,931 in 2025‑26.
