Environmental activists in Hyderabad are calling for the strict enforcement of a Supreme Court order to stop tree felling around the Kasu Brahmananda Reddy National Park. The group argues that the H-CITI infrastructure project threatens the city's urban green lung and ignores critical ecological buffer zones. Critics allege that project authorities split the infrastructure work into smaller pieces to bypass a comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment. They warn that destroying the urban canopy will increase carbon emissions and worsen the local climate crisis by encouraging more vehicular traffic.
