HYDERABAD: Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has issued a show cause notice to Praneeth Pranav Knightwoods (Venkata Praneeth Developers) and asked the firm to stop all ongoing construction work following complaints from affected landowners in Patancheru. It has been asked to respond to the notices within seven days.
Landlords and farmers from Patancheru raised alarm regarding the illegal construction activities undertaken by Venkata Praneeth Developers. GHMC responded to these concerns by conducting inspections, which confirmed the presence of significant deviations from approved plans and regulations.
The developers encroached three metres into the nala and an additional nine metres into the nala buffer zone, violating urban planning laws. During inspections by GHMC officials and the irrigation department, it was discovered that the distance maintained from the nala was only 12 metres, whereas the minimum requirement for construction was 24 metres.
Despite receiving the show cause notice, Venkata Praneeth Developers failed to respond adequately, raising serious concerns about their intent and commitment to regulatory compliance. On March 1, GHMC issued a speaking order referencing the previous notice, reiterating the necessity for legal adherence and immediate action.
