Special Committee Formed for Investigation
In response, the government has set up a joint committee to conduct a comprehensive probe. The committee members include:
✔ Chittoor District Collector Sumit
✔ Superintendent of Police Manikanta Chandolu
✔ Anantapur Conservator of Forests Yashoda Bai
This special panel has been tasked with conducting an extensive investigation and submitting a detailed report. Based on the findings, the state government will take necessary legal action.
Preliminary Findings Indicate Large-Scale Encroachment
According to preliminary reports, nearly 75 acres of forest land have been illegally occupied, allegedly for private development. Sources indicate that a luxury estate, guest house, and private road were built within the forested area.
The Chief Minister has made it clear that encroachments on government and forest lands will not be tolerated, signaling strict action against those involved. The final report from the investigating committee is expected to shape the next course of legal and administrative steps in this high-profile case.
