💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has asked the Telangana government to explain the "compelling urgency" for clearing a large tree cover near the University of Hyderabad and has stayed any further activities till further orders. The court expressed concern over the large-scale felling of trees in the Kancha Gachibowli Forest and ordered the state chief secretary to answer several questions, including whether the environmental impact assessment certificate was obtained and if the requisite permission was obtained from the forest authority.
