HYDRAA crackdown continues: Focus now shifts to unauthorized ad hoardings in Hyderabad

HYDRAA, Hyderabad's disaster response agency, has shifted its focus from clearing encroachments around water bodies and parks to dismantling illegal advertising hoardings across the city. On Thursday, they removed 42 unauthorized hoardings belonging to various advertising agencies, including Prakash Arts Private Limited, Lead Space, and Uni Ads. Alongside this, HYDRAA launched a helpline for citizens to report instances of soil and debris dumping in water bodies. They are urging people to capture evidence (photos and videos) of vehicles transporting and dumping construction material into lakes and ponds to facilitate swift action. To date, 48 cases have been filed against developers for illegal soil dumping, and 31 lorries have been impounded.
