HYDERABAD: As Telangana government authorities remained silent, the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) directed its Regional Officer in Chennai to inspect a real estate project at Narsingi by the well-known builder, My Home and submit a detailed report.
The inspection has been ordered to investigate allegations of violation of environmental norms in construction of the project, including violation of GO 111. The allegations were made by TPCC working president and Malkajgiri MP A Revanth Reddy in his letter to the MoEF last year.
The information came to light on Friday after MoEF submitted a counter affidavit in the National Green Tribunal, where a petition filed by Reddy in the same matter is being heard in which he complained that the MoEF and Telangana government are not taking any action in the matter.
