HYDRAA commissioner cautions Ameenpur lake plot owners against fraudsters

Hyderabad: Hyderabad Disaster Response Assets Monitoring and Protection Agency (HYDRAA) commissioner AV Ranganath has cautioned people living in the periphery of Ameenpur’s Pedda Cheruvu not to fall prey to fraudsters collecting funds in the assurance they would save their plots from submergence in the full-tank level (FTL) of the tank.

The issue was brought to his attention after some victims on Saturday, March 1, complained that certain individuals of a group named “Ameenpur Pedda Pond’s Flood Victims JAC”

were collecting Rs 1,000 as membership. They demanded Rs 500 per square yard from plot owners whose land was submerged.

The victims showed WhatsApp messages and receipts issued after the payment to the HYDRAA commissioner.

HYDRAA commissioner Ranganath told the victims to lodge their complaints against the fraudsters.
