The Telangana High Court has initiated a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) regarding extensive blasting activities near Nyay Vihar in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, which residents claim are causing significant disturbances and environmental damage. This action was prompted by a letter from Justice Nagesh Bheemapaka, a local resident and High Court judge, who expressed concerns over daily blasting operations that have reportedly led to the disappearance of half a hillock over the past two years. The court has issued notices to various authorities, including the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation and the Pollution Control Board, demanding explanations about the blasting. Residents report that the frequent blasts, occurring up to ten times a day, have resulted in tremors and heightened anxiety among the local populace. The court’s intervention highlights the potential ecological imbalance and safety risks associated with the ongoing construction activities in the area. The case reflects broader issues concerning urban development and environmental safeguards in Hyderabad.
