HYDERABAD: Raising hopes amongst those who are striving to get GO 111 scrapped, Telangana on Thursday knowledgeable the Hyderabad High Court that the twin reservoirs — Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar (whose vicinty the GO objectives at protecting from commercialisation) — that were a supply of drinking water for Hyderabad are redundant now.
J Ramachandra Rao, further suggest normal, alternatively, said that the federal government will protect the two water our bodies. GO 111 was once issued, essentially banning any housing or construction task within 10-km radius of the reservoirs. In the ultimate 20 years, two distinct teams have emerged, one opposing the GO on the ground that it is preventing building in a limiteless extent of Hyderabad and the other protecting the GO, in the hunt for its retention to forestall ecological degradation of the city.
When the subject was once taken up for hearing on Thursday by means of a bench of Justice V Ramasubramanian and Justice N Balayogi, the state counsel said that an mavens’ committee were shaped to check the problem as in step with the instructions issued by means of National Green Tribunal (NGT). The bench said that in that case, it might look forward to the mavens’ committee to come to a conclusion within the subject.
KS Murthy, counsel for individuals who are opposing any dilution of the GO, raised an objection on the phrase ‘redundant’. The state counsel, alternatively, said that they are committed to protecting the twin water our bodies that used to supply water to Hyderabad. He added that these reservoirs are not more the supply of drinking water to Hyderabad. “They were discharging that function when the GO was once issued. But, now rivers Krishna and Godavari are catering to the wishes of Hyderabad,” he said. This is the only GO within the nation this is preventing building in a limiteless house, he contended.
The bench, alternatively, refused to adjudicate the subject at this juncture. “Let the mavens committee study and arrive at some conclusion,” the bench said and posted the case to 4 weeks. The mavens’ committee would first report to the NGT, Chennai, which is seized of the subject.
