BRS Welcomes SC Orders

Hyderabad: The opposition BRS in the State on Wednesday welcomed the Supreme Court's orders to protect the environment and ecology on a land parcel next to the University of Hyderabad (UoH) and said it hopes that "wisdom would prevail" at least now on the State's Congress government.

The apex court's orders for "restoration of the forest" in the land at Kancha Gachibowli, and instructing the Telangana government that its Chief Wildlife Warden should ensure safety of all wildlife is a huge win for all those who care for the environment in Hyderabad and the state, BRS Working President K T Rama Rao said. "The @BRSparty wholeheartedly welcomes the Hon'ble SC orders, and hopes that at least now wisdom will dawn on Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and the Congress government in Telangana that it cannot get away with environmental murder," he said in a post on 'X'. Rao, who thanked the Supreme Court for its decision, also thanked the students and faculty of UoH and others for their hard work to protect the flora and fauna in the 400 acres of land.
