The govt. Of Telengana is trying to cut down 400 acres of forest land in the University of Hyderabad (HCU).
HCU is home to a plethora of beautiful species, and is a hub of biodiversity, including many trees, native bird species, deer, and reptiles, to name a few- and is called the green lungs of Hyderabad.
In the past few days, they have gone as far as putting a Lathi charge (hitting people with a wooden beam) against peaceful protestors, and are not even allowing students or people who stay in the quarters to even enter.
I implore everyone to please, please share the word, and stand for what is right, and protect the little that is left, of what has been given to us.
Below I have shared a account which provides all the information you may need, and I encourage everyone to share it.
Thank you.

UPDATE!
As of now, the work has halted, but Ive been keeping tabs on the newspapers and it seems the chief minister is still trying to appeal for an IT Park there (courtesy of eenadu)..but for now, it's still not being considered
Even then, the rehabilitation of the vegetation there is going at a slow pace
