The ongoing Kancha Gachibowli land dispute near the Hyderabad Central University (HCU) has escalated into a major political issue. Students have been protesting against the Telangana government's decision to clear the land for developmental purposes, and the situation has sparked support from various political parties and public figures.
In a significant show of solidarity, renowned music director Mani Sharma joined the protests. On Monday, during a protest by BRSV at KBR Park, Sharma expressed his support for the students by holding placards that read "Save the trees," highlighting his opposition to the government's decision. The move has added more prominence to the cause, which is now drawing attention from across the state.
Political leaders from different parties have also voiced their concern, amplifying the opposition to the government's actions. The dispute over the 400 acres of land near HCU has triggered a wider debate on land ownership and environmental conservation.
The protesters are demanding that the land be preserved and that the government reconsider its decision, as the land is crucial to the university's expansion and environmental conservation. The government, however, maintains that it has the legal right to the land and insists on proceeding with the development plans.
As the issue continues to gain momentum, the involvement of public figures like Mani Sharma and the growing support from political parties indicate that this dispute will remain a key topic in Telangana's political discourse.
