Govt has discretion to appoint HYDRAA chief, says CM Revanth Reddy

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy stated that the government retains the authority to appoint officers to positions like the commissioner of the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA). This statement followed directions from the Telangana High Court to remove Senior IPS Officer A V Ranganath from his role due to alleged contempt of court. Revanth Reddy emphasized the government's commitment to HYDRAA, describing it as a major reform aimed at protecting public assets from illegal encroachments. He criticized land grabbers for using fabricated documents and misinformation campaigns against HYDRAA. The chief minister defended HYDRAA's operations, including recent demolitions of structures on encroached land, and suggested that opposition criticisms were politically motivated. He also mentioned that former Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar faced over 400 contempt of court cases, indicating such legal actions are not uncommon.
