Hyderabad: Following the demolition of a structure in Lakshmi Priya Colony, Hayathnagar, on Saturday, the property owner claimed that the building had valid permissions. The property owner also alleged the staff of GHMC’s town planning wing had demanded bribes from them.However, verification revealed that the property owner had permission to build stilt-plus-two floors residential house, but he had built four shutters instead.“We have served notice, but the property owner did not respond. Building shutters instead of houses is a complete deviation from the sanctioned plan, so the structure was demolished,” said a GHMC official.
