HYDERABAD: The Congress on Sunday released a chargesheet against Union environment minister Prakash Javadekar asking him to return to Delhi only after answering the questions posed in it.
Telangana Congress working president and Malkajgiri A Revanth Reddy said the flood impact Greater in Hyderabad would have been lesser had prime minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government acted on Congress MPs complaints to save Musi river from encroachments and pollution.
Stating that both BJP and TRS are friendly parties and are trying to fool the voters of Greater Hyderabad as if they are rival parties, Revanth said: “Why did not the union environment ministry take action when I (Revanth) brought to its notice that G.O 111 was being violated in Telangana. It is due to the violations of G.O 111 that tanks over flowed causing floods and inundation of residential colonies resulting in loss of lives and properties of people in and around the city,” Revanth said.
“Why did the union ministry Javadekar not do anything when I approached the National Green Tribunal too to stop construction of new secretariat buildings in the vicinity of Hussain Sagar lake as per Supreme court orders,” Revanth said demanding reply from the union minister.
There are irregularities in Srisailam and Kalwakurthy projects but the central environment ministry is not taking any action, he said.
About 30 villages in the vicinity of Jawaharnagar dumping yard have been badly affected due to ground water, air getting polluted.
