Warangal:Former deputy chief minister Thatikonda Rajaiah on Thursday called for a comprehensive survey by the district collector and the forest department regarding the alleged encroachment of 3,900 acres of forest land by Station Ghanpur MLA Kadiam Srihari and his son-in-law Nazeer in Mupparam village.
Rajaiah emphasised the need for authorities to clearly define the boundaries surrounding the forest and implement necessary measures to protect its natural resources. He alleged that followers of Kadiam Srihari and his son-in-law Nazeer were trying to exploit the region's substantial mineral wealth, including iron ores, within the forested area of Mupparam village.
Highlighting past governmental initiatives, Rajaiah pointed out that during the BRS administration, the Haritha Haram programme was undertaken on the same forest land. He accused Srihari of attempting to encroach upon this land by threatening forest officials.
Rajaiah concluded by asserting that the BRS would persist in opposing the MLA, whom he claims joined the Congress solely to engage in irregularities.
