NGT dismisses Musi petition, gives Telangana government relief
HYDERABAD: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has dismissed a petition filed by Karthik Reddy, son of former minister Savitha Indra Reddy, over the Musi river restoration project.
Tribunal finds no evidence supporting allegations
The petition alleged that the government failed to obtain prior approvals for the Musi rejuvenation works and violated norms, particularly in the Gandhi Sarovar area.
Government terms plea politically motivated before tribunal
The state government denied the allegations and told the tribunal that the petition was filed with political motives.
After examining arguments from both sides, the NGT said the petition lacked credible evidence and dismissed the case.
Verdict clears path for Musi rejuvenation works
The ruling paves the way for the government to proceed with Musi river restoration works without legal hurdles.
While the government expressed relief over the verdict, the decision has triggered discussions within opposition circles.
