If indeed young people become activists because they can't find employment, the solution is to create the enabling conditions where every person has the opportunity to seek well paid, safe and productive employment.

Live Law@LiveLawIndia

CJI Surya Kant says there are "parasites" attacking the system. "There are youngsters like cockroaches, who don't get any employment and don't have any place in the profession. Some of them become media, some of them become social media, some of them become RTI activists, some of them become other activists, and they start attacking everyone." - CJI.

@nuts2406 @RahulGandhi @CitizensForHyd Development in Hyderabad city is happening rapidly whereby the environment & natural resources are taking the toll. We are overlooking the balance to be maintained between infrastructure & nature. Imprisoning the people standing for their rights & is undemocratic .

Dear Mr @rahulgandhi We know you believe in the Constitution. We know you are against the destruction of the environment. Why is your government in Telangana detaining citizens who were protesting the illegal felling of trees? Do the right thing and at least ensure an EIA.

If India “doesn’t read anymore,” why are independent magazines, bookstores, publishers, and lit fests still thriving against all odds? Our editor-in-chief @sahaysmita talks about the literary worlds people keep refusing to see.

@nehaa_sinha Yes. But fewer than if they hadn't gone to stop it. The trees were within the EZ of a National Park.

5 activists are out now. But FIRs were filed against citizens who peacefully hugged trees to protect KBR — Hyderabad’s last green lung. 🌳 Police invoked BNS 126 (wrongful restraint), 324 (loss/damage to property), 351 (criminal intimidation), read with 3(5) common intention. So protecting the environment under Article 51A(g) is a crime now? Peaceful participation under Article 19 too? But choking a National Park with flyovers despite legal concerns is not? Media, legal fraternity, political parties & citizens must speak up before KBR is gone forever. #SaveKBR

🚨 Volunteers Detained — Reach Banjara Hills Police Station 🚨 Yesterday night, volunteers formed a human chain around trees at KBR to stop illegal felling violating the 2021 stay order. 🌳 While dispersing, one volunteer was detained and their phone confiscated. On learning this, @vijaymallangi rushed to Banjara Hills Police Station. They have been made to wait there since 3 AM without reason. Citizens protecting the law are being targeted, while tree cutting continues without public hearing, cumulative EIA, or finalisation of the Eco-Sensitive Zone. @TelanganaCMO @shobanjarahills @revanth_anumula @GHMCOnline @hydcitypolice @TelanganaDGP #SaveKBR #Hyderabad

@nehaa_sinha We heard of tree felling at midnight and people went to protest it. They dispersed around 2 am . Morning we come to know two were detained. They were released only at 5 pm. It's been a stressful day

An account of what unfolded at Banjara Hills Police Station this morning. Further updates are awaited. Please support in every way you can for the release of volunteers who were peacefully standing up for KBR — literally Hyderabad’s last remaining lung space. 🌳 #SaveKBR #Hyderabad

12 hours ago, a group of citizens formed a human chain to protest peacefully against the illegal felling of trees within the EZ of KBR Park. Four of them are still in custody. @RahulGandhi Sir, you speak about protecting the environment why is your government doing this in TG?

These people are not criminals. They are citizens who were protesting the illegal felling of trees which had been marked for translocation. Why are they being held in custody at Banjara Hills PS since 3 am? Please intervene @TelanganaDGP @CVAnandIPS @CPHydCity @SajjanarVC_IPS
