The Telangana Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TGIIC) has confirmed that layout approval for an area near Durgam Cheruvu was granted after the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) took into account heritage rock guidelines and conservation buffer zones. The statement from TGIIC on Thursday was a response to a previous report concerning the auction of plotting in heritage precincts protected by HMDA zonal regulations.

## What Happened

TGIIC clarified that the plotting occurred in an area that falls within the Heritage Rock precincts and is part of the Durgam Cheruvu catchment. According to TGIIC, the layout was initially put up for auction between 2007 and 2008. Subsequently, the layout received approval in 2017, following guidelines from the Heritage Rock Preservation committee.

Further proposals for comprehensive development of the layout area were submitted by TGIIC to HMDA. These proposals were approved with explicit consideration given to the heritage rock guidelines and the Durgam Cheruvu buffer area. TGIIC asserted that specific preservation zones, rock protection measures, buffer zones, and safeguards for the Durgam Cheruvu ecosystem were clearly defined and have been followed.
