The HC stay order prevents #KhajagudaRocks from being "damaged, destroyed or disturbed".
@arvindkumar_ias please immediately stop all unauthorized activity at the site, ensure that the boundary is clearly defined, marked and adequate police protection is provided.
A thread.

Hyderabad Climbers organised rock climbing, hiking and rappelling for women, by women at Khajaguda to celebrate #InternationalWomensDay. Most were first timers, and the event helped #BreakTheBias#SaveKhajaguda so others too get to experience the precious natural heritage.
Sir, can you please ensure & confirm that the realignment of the road is not within the area protected by the Court ? Also can you take up the survey to define the boundary and fencing of the protected hill to avoid contempt of Court?
Dear Sirs @KTRTRS@arvindkumar_ias inspite of action being taken, wanton destruction and desecration of this heritage site continues. Request you to please declare #khajaguda as a Biodiversity Park and put an end to the destruction.
The yellow line on the map is an approximation of the 100 ft road proposed by @HMDA_Gov, which will require blasting through rocks.
However a 20 ft road already exists which can be widened.
Development doesn't have to be at the cost of the environment.
@arvindkumar_ias@KTRTRS
When there is a perfectly viable road, why is a new road alignment being planned?
Who approved these plans without seeing the ground reality?
Where are the maps which demarcate the protected area?
@KTRTRS@arvindkumar_ias@HMDA_Gov can we have some answers please?
@SaveRocks
Thank you @arvindkumar_ias for granting us a patient hearing and giving instructions to look at the road alignment.
We hope that no further damage will be done to the rocks. And that the guilty will be adequately punished.
@saverocks
By keeping the pressure up, citizens have got the government to give an assurance that the road alignment will be examined, and illegal work identified. But will that be too late? https://t.co/Qtep7hoF2W
I don't have hope on this.

Despite reassurance from government authorities, Khajaguda Rocks are still not safe. Citizens continue to have questions about the Road and the debris dumped to create a car park https://t.co/SCliGlMghz
Even as HMDA heads have assured safety to the rock formation, they are asking government what action will be taken to remove the debris?
They also ask why is the HRDCL road still being laid from amidst the rocks?
Why no full stop on that?
