Your Honour,

On October 16, 2023, it was World Food Day and the theme of this year was

'Water is Food. Water is Life'.

This appeal is to save lives and human dignity, as the standards of our lives

are jeopardized due to polluted and encroached and compromised natural

resources. Screen Recording of historical satellite imagery from Google Earth

is uploaded on this link for your perusal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?

The above link demonstrates how the river is compromised by concretization of

Musi river right opposite High Court/Osmania General Hospital. The very purpose

of constructions of public welfare institutions on the banks of the river Musi

so as to prevent encroachments inside the river stands defeated by state itself

manufacturing land inside the river.

This is a video petition containing an appeal to the Hon'ble Chief Justice of

High Court Hyderabad, to set up Green/Ecological Heritage Bench for restoration

of Musi nadi and for restoration of the Ecological Heritage of Hyderabad and

Telangana, in light of the utter disrespect and invasion on the space and

integrity of River Musi and thousands of water bodies in Hyderabad and

Telangana.

This is an appeal for prompt setting up of exclusive bench for day to day

hearings of Ecological Heritage that we are losing by the minute.

All people from Hyderabad & Telangana who use water, air and food.
