HMDA has not given permission for demolition: MA&UD SecretaryExactly 100 years after it was built, a portion of the Khusro Manzil in Lakdikapul area was brought down by its current owners. While the front portion with the modified Corinthian columns and decorative entablature are intact, a swipe from an earthmover brought down a portion on the right side at the rear part of the building. “We rushed there as it is a heritage building and cannot be demolished without permission. The Khusro Manzil, built on a hill overlooking the city with a clear view of Charminar as well as the Golconda Fort, was completed in 1920. While rumours about demolition of the Khusro Manzil have abounded, it remains to be seen whether the building will survive this effort.
