Amaravati: The Andhra Pradesh High Court has directed the joint Ministry of Environment and Forests and central government officials to form a committee to conduct a site inspection of the ongoing construction works at Rushikonda in Visakhapatnam.
The High Court, which took up a petition alleging that the construction works were beyond the scope of the permit, on Thursday directed that a report should be lodged with the court by January 31 after a comprehensive inspection of the ongoing earthworks and structures at Rushikonda. It suggested that the committee should consist only of central government officials and state government officials should be removed.
Visakhapatnam East MLA Velagapudi Ramakrishna Babu and Jana Sena leader Peetala Murthy Yadav filed a petition claiming that the construction at Rushikonda exceeded the approved permit. Petitioners also objected to the presence of three state officials on the committee.
