Although the road widening was scheduled to be completed in 18 months, the Chief Minister directed officials to accelerate the works so that the highway can be opened to the public by New Year 2027.

Right message but wrong medium. @DirPBD_iocl @ChairmanIOCL @iocl_pbd IOCL should have gone the extra mile and used cloth banners instead of flex which is also plastic.. your message contradicts your intension. Can you stop further displays using flex pls and use cloth baners.

If “Armchair Activism” had a name.. it would be this… none of the petitioners use that highway for work or study.. yet they decided to drag the case even though they declared victory in 2023… severely impacting the lives of thousands of people on a daily basis.. This
After 6 years of on ground activism, online advocacy, public policy intervention and legal battles, NHAI finally commits to save an overwhelming majority of the Banyans (765) in situ, and to shifting about 130 trees to only a few meters away at the National Green Tribunal.

The winners: one egoistic department and a set of adamant “activists” who never used #NH163 for work or schooling.. and fought at someone else’s cost The losers: local who use #NH163 for work/schooling and the mute spectators.. the Trees… who were caught in the crossfire.
1. If anyone can show us the 915 #ChevellaBanyans along the disputed NH163.. they will be rewarded with a 6 figure currency prize. 2. A total of 656 trees being translocated and 715 Banyans retained. ie; 46% being translocated and 54% being retained. 3. Retained Banyans to be

Solid waste management HAS to be decentralised..
🗑️ #Hyderabad is drowning in garbage! A week after the NGT banned fresh waste dumping at Jawaharnagar landfill, GHMC’s waste collection has nearly collapsed — bins overflow, streets stink, and transfer stations are full. Activists call for decentralised waste units. #NGT

Seems to be the story with #KanchaGachibowli PIL too.. seems to have been put on the back burner.. wish “Justice delayed is Justice denied” was taken up more seriously.. it shouldn’t take so long at any cost.. but in the end.. we have to respect the system and hope Justice

The only way forward for Solid waste/Sewage management is to decentralise
🚫 The #NGT has ordered an immediate halt to all fresh waste dumping at Hyderabad’s Jawaharnagar landfill, citing pollution & health risks. With no alternative sites ready, GHMC faces a mounting crisis managing nearly 9,000 tonnes of waste daily. Next hearing: Nov 10. ♻️

Ive observed most of the drivers from cars/bikes/tractors/autos/trucks/buses are on mobile calls.. has this angle been checked? Was the tipper/bud driver on a call before the accident? #chevella #chevellabusaccident #RTC #BusAccident #vikarabad #NH163 #ChevellaBanyans

Another full grown, decades old tree which was resilient enough to grow in a curvy pattern avoiding over head wires has been cut down to base. @tgspdcl idiots could not see this tree standing tall against their hackings all these years. @vata_foundation @vinay_vangala
