Obaid Ur Rehman has alleged that significant portions of the 145-year-old Chiran Fort in Begumpet were recently demolished. The structure is identified as a Grade II protected heritage site and is historically known as Devdi Nawab Nazeer Jung. Key features including the main gate and a tower were reportedly destroyed to accommodate a construction company office. Concerns were raised regarding the potential loss of the remaining palace area following previous land acquisitions for local infrastructure projects. The current owner has denied any illegal damage to the heritage structure and maintains that all actions follow necessary protocols. Historical preservation remains a focal point as the government continues separate restoration efforts on other portions of the complex.

Paigah scion Obaid Ur Rehman has alleged that several structures from the Chiran Fort Club, a 145-year-old structure in Begumpet, were demolished for creating space for a construction company office here on Saturday.

Rehman, who lives in a portion of the Paigah Palace, said the structure was a grade-II protected site. “I could see that the doors have been removed in the Chiran palace and it may soon be demolished,” he alleged and a club running on the premises since the 1980s was now closed.

Further, the Paigah scion alleged that main gate, Burj, and the other private buildings were demolished for giving the space to the construction company office.

Rehman raised concerns stating one the palace’s one side was marked for demolition for constructing the flyover by GHMC. Now, the other half of the palace is being demolished, while the government is restoring the Mardana Mahal. The palace is also known as Devdi Nawab Nazeer Jung, who also built the Falaknuma Palace, Pathergatti.

Meanwhile, owner K. Prem Sagar Rao denied any damage to the heritage structure. Any action on structure will be followed by the necessary permissions, he added.
