HMDA has not given permission for demolition: MA&UD Secretary
Exactly 100 years after it was built, a portion of the Khusro Manzil in Lakdikapul area was brought down by its current owners. It is a Grade III heritage site under Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) zonal regulations. “The HMDA has not given permission for its demolition,” said Arvind Kumar, Principal Secretary of the Municipal Administration & Urban Development, when contacted for a comment. While the front portion with the modified Corinthian columns and decorative entablature are intact, a swipe from an earthmover brought down a portion on the right side at the rear part of the building. It was an intervention by nearby residents that ensured that the building was not completely razed. “We rushed there as it is a heritage building and cannot be demolished without permission. When we asked to see the permission, the builders said they were yet to get it from the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC),” said Shrikant, resident of a building that overlooks the heritage site.
