The LRS scheme was introduced earlier in September by Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development KT Rama Rao. The decision was made to address the finance deficit in the

state’s treasury, and has been opposed by activists and opposition parties. Activists argue that the LRS violates various sections of the Telangana Urban Areas (Development) Act, 1975;

Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) Act, 1955; Telangana Town Planning Act, 1920; State Municipalities Act, 2019; HMDA Act, 2008; and Telangana Panchayat Raj Act, 2018.
