The Telangana High Court issued contempt notices to five senior IAS and IPS officers for failing to submit a detailed enquiry report on alleged illegal constructions in and around Salkam Cheruvu, despite earlier court directions. The case was filed by activist Vijay Gopal, and the matter has been adjourned to August 11.
The Telangana High Court, led by Justice N.V. Shravan Kumar, criticised government authorities for failing to act against illegal constructions by influential educational institutions in Salkam Cheruvu Lake’s buffer zone, while showing zeal in demolishing poor and middle-class homes.
Hyderabad Commissioner A.V. Ranganath said the demolition of Fatima Owaisi Educational Campus will be taken up after the final notification of Salkam Cheruvu and verification of FTLs. He also urged IMD-Hyderabad to improve real-time forecasting with updated technology.
