Hyderabad: GHMC Seizes Mangalya Shopping Mall Branch in Hyderabad for Lack of Occupancy Certificate

Hans India11-06-2025
There is hardly anyone in the Telugu states who hasn't heard of Mangalya Shopping Mall. This shopping destination regularly attracts customers with special offers and is especially popular among women for its wide variety of collections. The mall has branches in almost every area of Hyderabad.
However, the real situation came to light during inspections by GHMC Town Planning officials. On Wednesday (June 11), officials seized the multi-storey Mangalya Shopping Mall building at RTC Cross Roads in Hyderabad, which was reportedly constructed without proper permission.
According to GHMC Circle 15 Town Planning officials, the building was seized due to the lack of an Occupancy Certificate. Full details about the violations are still awaited. Officials have issued warnings that strict action will be taken against any commercial establishment operating without the required approvals.
Interestingly, this particular branch of Mangalya Shopping Mall — its 20th store in Hyderabad — was inaugurated by actress Keerthy Suresh in September last year. During the launch, she expressed happiness at opening the new store and mentioned that the mall offers a wide range of clothing including silk, fancy, Kanchi, Dharmavaram, Uppada silk sarees, kidswear, men's and women's ethnic wear, and special outfits for weddings and festive occasions.

Green chilli prices soar in Vijayawada

Vijayawada: The prices of green chillies have skyrocketed in Vijayawada markets, causing concern among consumers as the essential kitchen staple has become increasingly unaffordable. Available at 24 per kilogram on July 1, green chillies are now being sold at a staggering 110 per kilogram due to adverse weather conditions that severely damaged crops. Known for their widespread use in Telugu cuisine, green chillies are a daily necessity in most households. However, recent statewide rains in June followed by intense heat in early July led to decline in chilli production. The double blow disrupted supply chains and pushed prices to an all-time high. "Usually, green chillies are always in demand. But the crop damage left us with no choice. We're now importing quality chillies from Karnataka to meet the demand," said M Subbarao, a trader at the Rajiv Gandhi Wholesale Vegetable Market. With prices shooting up, many households have drastically reduced their consumption of green chillies. Shoppers are now turning to alternatives or cutting down their spice usage altogether. In an attempt to ease the burden on consumers, the agriculture marketing department is offering green chillies at 75 per kg at Rythu Bazaars (farmers' markets). Officials assure that with the arrival of fresh produce from Avanigadda in Krishna district, prices are expected to dip slightly within next 10–15 days. However, the department warned that if heavy rains continue, the supply of other vegetables—including green vegetables and tomatoes—may also be disrupted, potentially triggering further price hikes.
