​Hyderabad: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has decided to clear about 12,000 encroachments on all nalas in the city. The nalas which have been spread over 390 kilometres length would be cleared with an estimated cost of Rs 12,000 crore. In order gain the public support for clearing the encroachments, the civic body would showcase the critical bottlenecks. Later, it would take up the demolition drive.
