Gachibowli Hyderabad: Forest destroyed by JCB to set up industry in 400 acres - The Telangana Congress government's blunder has sparked nationwide debate and outrage. The government has initiated massive deforestation, which has caused hardship to thousands of wildlife. The outcry of the mute animals has reached its peak. The video is now going viral on social media. The government, which has taken action to destroy around 400 acres of forest, has been criticized by the common people and the opposition parties.
The government of Telangana has faced simultaneous outrage from environmentalists, wildlife lovers, and the general public, and the court has finally intervened. Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy had recently said that there were shortcomings in the management of guarantee schemes and that government employees were not being paid salaries. Now, the Revanth Reddy government has taken up the destruction of about 400 acres of forest in the Kancha Gachibowli area near Hyderabad Central University (HCU). The silent animals have reached the end of their mourning. The video is trending on social media.
The government is said to have initiated overnight deforestation in the 400 acres of forest in the Kancha Gachibowli area near Hyderabad Central University (HCU) in Telangana. Overnight, 30 to 40 JCB excavators were used to clear the forest in this area. This has drawn strong objections from students and the people here.
The Telangana government had proposed to develop infrastructure and IT parks in the forest area here. 400 acres of land was allotted to Telangana Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Ltd (TGIIC). This has created a lot of chaos in this area. The land in this area is part of a reserved forest and is home to hundreds of endangered species, a diverse flora and fauna. However, the move to build an industry in such a sensitive area has caused widespread outrage.
What is this case?
The Telangana government was set to carry out a major operation in a 400-acre forest area in the Kancha Gachibowli area near the Hyderabad Central University (HCU) in the state capital Hyderabad. The High Court has now intervened in this case and has ordered a halt to land clearing operations in this area.
