Minister launches HYDRAA against illicit structures
Even with potential hurdles, HYDRAA is deemed crucial for the environment. Ranganath, the Department Head, declared HYDRAA operation is unwavering and implies no exceptions will be made, reflecting a zero-tolerance policy.
Akkineni Nagarjuna’s N-Convention was recently demolished under HYDRAA, causing turbulence among the political and business elites. The action raised questions about the operation’s methodology, sparking debates and setting the stage for future conflicts.
Growing pressure led Reddy to assert that public interest takes precedence over difficult consequences. Strategies and solutions are being developed to manage this hard path effectively. He reminded everyone that public welfare remains a priority.
Reddy bashed plans to use education as a pretense for encroachments, slamming the idea of “floating colleges”. He contended that education should promote respect for the environment, not degrade it.
Reddy proposed that former Minister for Irrigation, Harish Rao, to head an investigative committee looking into illegal appropriation of lake lands. He highlighted the immediate need to safeguard these ecological spots from further illegal activities.
