Panel made no headway in studying building permissions in catchment areas of Himayathsagar and Osmansagar, says court
The Telangana High Court on Wednesday expressed dissatisfaction over the high-power committee appointed by the State government to study issues relating to GO 111 not filing any report so far. A bench of Chief Justice Hima Kohli and Justice B. Vijaysen Reddy, hearing a batch of writ petitions on matters relating to GO 111, said the committee failed to accomplish the task assigned to it. It would be better to disband the committee since it had not made any headway in coming out with the analysis and study of GO 111 even after five years, the bench observed. GO 111 was issued by the then State government of undivided Andhra Pradesh State in 1996. As per its provisions, no industries or high-rise structures were not allowed to spring up in the catchment areas of Himayathsagar and Osmansagar lakes, the two main drinking water sources to the State capital of Hyderabad.
