Telangana Defends Industrial Land Policy
The Telangana government is defending its new policy that allows industrial lands inside and around Hyderabad's Outer Ring Road to be converted into multi-use zones.
The Deputy Chief Minister says this will help reduce pollution and generate money for the state.
The previous government, BRS, accuses the current government of a huge land scam, claiming the policy undervalues the land.
The government says the policy is transparent and will help move industries out of residential areas, making Hyderabad cleaner and more sustainable.
The BRS has threatened to cancel all transactions under this policy if they return to power.
The current government presented evidence that the BRS regime had also initiated similar conversions, showing that the policy is a continuation of previous practices.
Telangana's HILTP allows conversion of industrial lands into multi-use zones for urban renewal and pollution control.
Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka defends the policy as transparent and necessary for Hyderabad's environmental health.
BRS accuses the government of a Rs 5 lakh crore scam, alleging undervaluation of prime industrial lands.
The policy aims to relocate industries from residential areas and generate revenue for welfare schemes and new industrial parks.
BRS threatens to cancel all HILTP transactions if they regain power, setting the stage for a political and legal battle.
