An exclusive aerial survey has exposed 76.74 acres of illegal encroachment inside the protected Mangalam Peta forest lands in the eastern ghats, linked to former Forest Minister and senior leader Sri Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy garu. Hon’ble Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan visited the site, reviewed the violations, briefed Hon’ble CM Sri Nara Chandrababu Naidu garu, and Cabinet Ministers, and immediately ordered a comprehensive probe.
Pawan Kalyan directed officials to:
- Publish the names of all forest land encroachers on the department website.
- Reveal the extent of encroachment and the status of cases on each individual.
- Take strict legal action against anyone who grabbed forest land, without exceptions.
- Investigate discrepancies in land records, including inflated Webland entries and false claims of “ancestral land” inside protected forest areas.
- Act based on vigilance reports and legal expert guidance.
- Digitize all land records to prevent manipulation and ensure transparency.
Forest lands are national assets. Those who encroach upon them, misuse them, or violate forest laws, no matter who they are, will be held accountable. The government will not tolerate the grab of protected forest areas or wildlife zones.
