Hyderabad: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has observed that the Ori sports village in Shankarapalli in Gandipet, an events and sports destination, has been constructed within the full tank level limits of Osmansagar Lake, confirming that there has been encroachment on one of the two reservoirs in the city.
The NGT directed the state government to submit a detailed report on whether the construction of the facility had exceeded more than the 20,000 square metres and whether the mandated environmental clearance (EC) was obtained from the state environment impact assessment authority (SEIAA) and that of the pollution control board.
The tribunal sought details from the government about the extent of encroachment and its role in clearing them.
