Telangana High Court on Thursday issued notices to State government in a PIL petition seeking cancellation of allotment of 6,5357 square yards of land at L.B. Nagar in Hyderabad to Deccan Chronicle Holdings Private (DCHPL) Limited and recovery of the same from the latter.
A bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice N. Tukaramji, after hearing the petition filed by BJP leader and social worker Perala Shekhar Rao, instructed the government to respond to the notices. According to the petitioner, the then State government of undivided Andhra Pradesh in 2009 allotted the land to DCHPL at the rate of ₹7,000 per square yard.
The land was supposed to be used for the purpose of publication of newspaper. Mr. Shekhar Rao contended that, however, the DCHPL did not use it for the said purpose. It entered into an agreement with TNR Constructions, a real estate company, to develop the allotted land for commercial purpose, the petitioner maintained.

In , the grape capital of India and host of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela every 12 years, environmental concerns over a plan to cut 1,800 trees for the proposed Sadhugram project in the historic Tapovan area have sharpened political fault lines ahead of local body elections. The issue has pitted both Sena factions against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which leads the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra. While Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief, and Uddhav Thackeray, chief of the Shiv Sena (UBT), remain political rivals, their parties have found rare common ground in Tapovan, where authorities propose clearing trees across 34 acres to build Sadhugram and a MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) hub, as part of a ₹300-crore infrastructure push linked to the pilgrimage.
