Efforts only to save Harish Rao's farmhouse. It is known that the BRS government decided to release the Himayatsagar water to save the people of Hyderabad. However, Congress alleges that GHMC has taken this decision only to save the farmhouse of Minister Harish Rao and former minister Mahender Reddy.
Congress party’s kisan cell Vice President Kodanda Reddy said "A committee constituted by the Congress party to study the effect of removal of GO 111 concluded that 80 per cent of the affected land, which falls under the area, is in the hands of realtors."
He added "The report says that as the state government had not issued any official communication regarding repeal of GO111 it is to be presumed that GO 69 dated 12.4.2022 stands good. It was imperative that GO 69 that lifts prohibitions of pollution-causing constructions, including, hotels, malls, heavy constructions and industries must be withdrawn immediately,"
Speaking about the committee report he added "As the government itself has given a written affidavit in October 2022 that prohibitions of G.O 111 are not removed and all prohibitions are applicable, hence the government must immediately withdraw GO 69. The court is requested to take this up suo moto."
He said the report on Musi revealed "There are 100s of encroachments inside FTL of both the reservoirs. It is obvious that floodgates have been lifted without actual reservoirs being filled up. More than 45 per cent of the area of reservoirs has been reduced due to encroachments."
