Environmental activist Paladugu Gnaneshwar and villagers of Dommadugu staged a protest at Nalla Cheruvu against the release of toxic effluents by pharmaceutical companies. Gnaneshwar, previously on hunger strike, was detained twice by police. The villagers demanded immediate government action to stop the pollution.
The green body’s notice comes after a media report claimed that pollution levels in Telangana's stretch of the Godavari river had reached a critical point.
