Addressing a press conference, Kishan Reddy said 1,500 acres of the 2,900 acres of the Damagundam forest land in Vikarabad being allocated for the project would be left “untouched with not a single plant harmed”.
people from different sections are intensifying their protest against the project and demanding the State government to rethink its permission for the land to the Navy.
In fact setting up of the VLF station would aid development of the region. The Navy would establish health centres, schools, lay new roads and develop other amenities, said the Forest Minister.
