Andhra Pradesh deputy chief Minister Pawan Kalyan had taken a strong stand against forest land encroachment and illegal activities. Now he has provided an aerial survey report of the land encroachment that was committed by YSR Congress Senior leader Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy.
An exclusive aerial survey has exposed 76.74 acres of illegal encroachment inside the protected Mangalam Peta forest lands in the eastern ghats, linked to former Forest Minister and senior leader Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy, Kalyan noted.
Kalyan clearly exposed the degree and extent of the forest lands that are encroached by this YCP senior leader, and this video is now going viral on social media. These shocking encroachments in the Mangalam Peta area by the YCP senior have come under scrutiny of the DCM himself and now, serious consequences could follow.
Adding further on this matter, Kalyan said “Forest lands are national assets. Those who encroach upon them, misuse them, or violate forest laws, no matter who they are, will be held accountable. The government will not tolerate the grab of protected forest areas or wildlife zones.”
Kalyan further instructed the officials to the names of all forest land encroachers on the department website, the extent of encroachment and the status of cases on each individual. Take strict legal action against anyone who grabbed forest land, without exceptions.
It’s further added that the discrepancies in land records, including inflated Webland entries and false claims of “ancestral land” inside protected forest areas must be investigated.
