A day after Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy declared that he would himself demolish structures belonging to his family members if they were found to be within the full tank level (FTL) and buffer zone of any water body, Revenue officials on Thursday issued notices to A Tirupati Reddy, the chief minister's brother, as his house and office were found to be within the FTL of Durgam Cheruvu.

Responding to the notice, Tirupati Reddy said that he had purchased the 600 sq yd property in 1995 with a sanctioned layout and building permission, and was unaware that it was within the buffer zone of Durgam Cheruvu. He added that the property that he purchased belonged to a person named Koteswar Rao.

Tirupati Reddy added that the layout was approved before the APWALTA Act came into existence and that he would comply with any corrective action deemed necessary authorities.
