​Students at the University of Hyderabad (UoH) are protesting the Telangana government's plan to clear 400 acres of forested land in Kancha Gachibowli for an IT park. Over 50 students were detained for obstructing land-clearing activities but were later released. The government asserts ownership of the land, citing court rulings, while students and environmentalists highlight its rich biodiversity, home to over 455 species. The opposition Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has criticized the government's actions, accusing it of environmental harm. The university administration has expressed concerns over the ecological impact and disputes the government's claims. ( PC: X/Revathitweets)
