On April 2, 2025, the Telangana High Court ordered an immediate halt to the clearing of 400 acres of green cover near the University of Hyderabad (UoH) in Kancha Gachibowli, following protests from students, faculty, and environmentalists. The state government planned to auction the land for an IT park, but petitioners argued it is rich in biodiversity and acts as a natural climate regulator. The court has paused all land-clearing activities and scheduled the next hearing for April 3, 2025, to further assess environmental concerns and the legality of the land auction.
