Notices issued to State on PIL to protect ponds & water bodies from illegal constructions
On Thursday the HC division bench---comprising Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice Jukanti Anil Kumar---issued notices to the Chief Secretary, Principal Secretary (Municipal Administration and Urban Development), Principal Secretary (Home), Principal Secretary (Irrigation and Command Area Development), Commissioner, GHMC and HMDA, district collectors, Hyderabad and Ranga Reddy districts, directing them to respond to the notices and the content of news report dated March 21, 2024 within four weeks.
A vernacular daily reported the issue under caption “Naalallo nirmanalu, cheruvullo villalu – illegal constructions of villas in ponds”.
Justice E V Venugopal of the HC had written to the CJ, annexing the newspaper clipping cited thereby bringing deteriorating condition of ponds and water bodies in Hyderabad due to rampant illegal constructions.
The report highlighted the serious threat posed to water bodies as landgrabbers are resorting to illegal constructions in ponds, water bodies and constructing villas in nalas, which are taking water bodies to the brink of extinction which in turn harms human life, as acute water shortage results in depletion of groundwater causing serious imbalance in the ecological system, leading to floods, inundation of cities, loss of lives and properties.
The officials cited are directed to respond to notices duly informing the steps taken to thwart land grabbers from resorting to illegal constructions within water bodies and the government action to protect them. The bench was adjudicating the suo motu WP (PIL) by converting the news report into PIL.
