The two sheds outside the Lotus Pond residence were being used by Jagan’s security teams, but had become an obstruction on the narrow road, leading to complaints from commuters. Sources said that a minister in the Telangana government had also complained and Bhorkode, a 2018 batch IAS officer, asked teams under his jurisdiction to pull them down. Further, as Jagan is no longer the CM, it was reasoned that there is no longer a presence of a large number of security personnel outside his residence.
Officials said that had higher authorities been kept in the loop, they would have informed the CMO and sought permission before going ahead with the demolition outside a former CM’s house.
GHMC in-charge commissioner Amrapali Kata issued the orders transferring Sahadeorao on administrative grounds and asked him to report to the general administration department.
