Actor Nagarjuna returns two acres of land to T’gana govt

HYDERABAD: Actor Nagarjuna has handed over two acres of land back to the state government after the authorities had demolished the N-Convention centre in Madhapur here, which is jointly owned by him, for allegedly being constructed on encroached land on the Full Tank Level of the Tammidikunta lake, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy said on Saturday.

Addressing a meeting after inaugurating a flyover, Reddy stressed the need to conserve and protect lakes in the city to ensure the free flow of water and sewage, and to avoid the inundation of colonies.

In August last year, the officials of Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA), GHMC, Town planning, irrigation and revenue departments removed encroachments in the FTL / Buffer zones of the lake, and amongst the many structures removed, N-Convention was also one of the unauthorised structures.
