The Human Rights Forum (HRF) has alleged that construction activity was going on at the site of the Telangana State Power Generation Corporation Limited’s proposed 1080-MW Bhadradri Thermal Power Project on the Manuguru-Pinapaka borders without the mandatory prior environment clearances.
V.S. Krishna, general secretary, HRF, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh States, said construction in any manner cannot go ahead for such a thermal power plant, classified as Category-A project, without the environmental impact study, the mandatory public hearing and the necessary appraisal by the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC).
