On April 3, 2025, the Supreme Court stayed the felling of nearly 1,000 trees in Kancha Gachibowli, Hyderabad, planned for an infrastructure project. The decision came after environmental activists petitioned against the move, citing ecological concerns and potential violations of environmental laws. The court has directed local authorities to submit a detailed environmental impact assessment before proceeding. This ruling highlights the judiciary’s role in safeguarding urban greenery and emphasizes the need for sustainable development in Hyderabad amid rising deforestation concerns linked to rapid urban expansion.
