The Telangana High Court has deferred the hearing on the controversy surrounding the destruction of the Kancha Gachibowli forest in Hyderabad. The state departments involved have been given until April 24 to submit their responses. The Supreme Court has intervened by putting a hold on the project and has requested reports to determine if the state has adhered to forest regulations. Opposition parties have raised concerns about the dissemination of counterfeit wildlife images to deceive the public.
