CMC demolishes 24 buildings after collapse
Cyberabad’s civic body says it demolished 24 unauthorised under-construction buildings across Quthbullapur, Serilingampally and Kukatpally, weeks after the Anjaiah Nagar collapse killed two workers.

Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC) says its enforcement teams demolished 24 unauthorised under-construction buildings across three zones on Saturday, September 5. The tally, reported from a CMC press release, was 11 demolitions in Quthbullapur, seven in Serilingampally and six in Kukatpally. Three other unauthorised constructions were seized and one more was served notice.
The drive followed the August 22 collapse of a seven-storey under-construction building in Anjaiah Nagar, Gachibowli, in which two workers died and others were injured. CMC Commissioner G Srijana directed town-planning and enforcement teams to continue daily inspections, according to the same release. CMC has also said 23 unauthorised constructions were identified for further action, but has not clarified whether that figure overlaps with the buildings already demolished, seized or served notices.
Earlier reports recorded separate enforcement actions after the collapse, including 17 demolitions on August 25 and 47 demolitions over three days. The September 5 figures remain an official CMC claim; the underlying release and a property-wise action list have not been published in the material available. The buildings were apparently easier to demolish once they had been noticed.
