However, the two officials leading the demolition effort on saturday said there would be no forcible evictions, unmoved by the suffering of the residents facing an uncertain future due to the State government firm's plan to demolish their homes on the banks of River Musi. They even asserted that a large number of families had already decided to move into double-bedroom homes that were being built in various parts of the city.
 
After completing a drone survey, representatives of the Musi Riverfront Development Corporation located 10,600 homes and other buildings over the 55 kilometer course. These structures needed to be moved since they were inside the buffer zone and riverbed. At a news conference held here, Municipal Administration and Urban Development Principal Secretary Dana kishore said that not a single family would be forcibly removed and that those evicted would receive 2BHKs, valued between Rs. 25 and Rs. 30 lakh.
 
Dana Kishore, accompanied by HYDRAA Commissioner AV Ranganath, reported that during the previous two days, authorities had inspected 974 homes spread over various regions along the river stretch. 406 of them had families prepared to go, he claimed, and 576 of these were on the boundaries of the riverbed.
 
"Already, fifty households have been relocated, and another one hundred fifty families are being relocated today. Dana kishore stated, "The government is organizing packing and transportation as well." She also mentioned that 15,000 2BHKs were found in various locations to be given to Musi riverbed oustees. To assist refugees in obtaining LPG connections, aadhar cards, and ration cards, assistance stations will be set up in various locations. Apart from this, he insisted that in order to persuade them to relocate, the cooperation of NGOs was being obtained through Professors Haragopal and Kodandaram.
