Protest against dump yard in Pyaranagar, Gummadidala gains support from BRS leader Harish Rao

Villagers in Pyaranagar, Sangareddy District, Telangana, are protesting against the establishment of a new dumping yard in their area. The project has raised concerns about environmental damage, pollution of nearby water sources, and health risks to residents. The Air Force Academy in the region has also opposed the project, but their concerns have been ignored by the authorities. The protests, which have taken several forms, including a shutdown of businesses and commercial establishments, have garnered support from local leaders and politicians, including BRS leader Harish Rao. Rao has criticized the state government's decision to proceed with the project, alleging that the government is ignoring public opposition and treating villagers cruelly. He also criticized the government's unfulfilled promises of welfare schemes and loan waivers. The Telangana State Government has defended the project, stating that European technology will be used to manage waste in an environmentally friendly manner. However, villagers remain concerned about the long-term environmental impact of the proposed dump yard.
