YSR Memorial in Nallamala
The untimely demise of Chief Minister Y SRajasekhara Reddy was a sad event. I am not mourning though but the death of a leader do cause some unstability and what follows is a row of hasty and emotional decisions that sometimes go out of the boundary.> Yes, I’m talking about the AP’s government decision of erecting an YSR memorial at the crash site in Nallamala forests which unfortunately falls under restricted site.> > The state Tourism minister Mrs.J Geetha Reddy announced that the crash site at Pavurallagutta would be developed into a major tourist spot. Since the mishap site is close to Byrluti range in Chintagundam in Atmakur division — a core area in the Nallamala forests — any construction, including roads, is banned as per the 1972 Wildlife Act. Did our honourable minister minister not knew this or was he showing that minister’s are above law? Anything can be moulded and bend for them. Is that it?> Do they not feel any sense of responsibility while on the move? Their speech and action, all negate their very Karma for which they are chosen. Every other day, they remind us of their foolishness. You just can’t ignore them.> They could have done a better job in resurecting the honourable minister than just erecting a memorial for him. But its needless to point out now what they could have done?
The Hon'ble Supreme Court had put a ban on all the activities in the Protected areas(National parks and Sanctuaries)with reference to the WP(C) of 1995. For undertaking any nonforest activity one needs to take permission from National Boards of Wild Life and Then Supreme Court and finally from MOEF.
The Moef now a days is not inclined to permit any activity in the Tiger Reserves. With all these I really donot think any body will be permitted to do any such thing as developing a memorial in Paurala Gutta which will have very high ly adverse impact on the wild life. Instead it will be more appropriate for the State tourism Deprtament or State govt to think interms of Naming the entire Nallamal Forest as "YSR National Park" and develop it as the model tiger reserve with a prestine undisturbed wild life intact.
