Telangana Government Under Fire for Disputed Land Auction at Kancha Gachibowli

The Telangana government, led by Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, has faced backlash for its decision to auction 400 acres of disputed land at Kancha Gachibowli. The Supreme Court took cognisance of reports of extensive deforestation in the area, prompting a stay on all activity until environmental impact assessments are completed. The High Court also extended a stay and the matter is set for further hearings. Environmentalists and student groups have been protesting the destruction of the biodiversity-rich land, with support from movie celebrities and opposition parties. The government claims legal ownership of the land, while critics allege encroachment and environmental damage. The issue remains unresolved, with ongoing legal battles and public outcry.
