On May 15, 2025, the Supreme Court of India issued a strong warning to the Telangana government, demanding the immediate restoration of the Kancha Gachibowli forest area in Hyderabad. The directive comes after more than 1,000 trees were illegally felled, in clear violation of environmental regulations and previous court orders. The Court emphasized that responsible officials could face contempt charges and jail time if restoration is not undertaken promptly. Telangana has been given two weeks to submit a detailed reforestation plan. The ruling was praised by environmentalists as a major step toward green accountability. (PC: The Hindu)
