The Slow Death of Kancha Gachibowli: A Forest Buried Alive
I had to write this. I had to vent my anger.
It is just so f****d up.
Pardon my language, but none of this makes sense.
As of April 3, 2025, the corrupt have already destroyed 50 acres out of the total 400 acres of pristine Kancha Gachibowli forest in Hyderabad, Telangana, wildlife like deer’s and peacocks fleeing for their lives, many crushed under bulldozers…
What to make of this news?
The government and bureaucrats are busy minting money. Cheap acts disguised as “progress.”
While some nations are protecting their forests, here in India, we are destroying them under the cover of night.
Laws exist, yet they mean nothing.
Where is the National Green Tribunal? Where are the people who swore to protect nature?
They say forests must go for development. But look closer. What do we really lose?

The Kancha Gachibowli forest is home to 233 bird species.
The Indian Roller, Telangana’s state bird, still finds shelter here. So does Murricia hyderabadensis, a spider found nowhere else in the world.
The forest holds 72 tree species, including the Marking Nut tree. For generations, this tree has supported the washermen community. Its loss is not just environmental but cultural.
According to the Ecological Heritage report on Kancha Gachibowli forest prepared by a researcher, Arun Vasireddy, If this forest is destroyed, temperatures in Gachibowli will rise by 1 to 4 degrees Celsius.
A natural cooling system, erased.
