Minister for Environment and Forests A. Indrakaran Reddy described permissions required from the National Board for Wildlife as a roadblock for the road network sought to be developed for remote villages in the joint Adilabad district.
Addressing a review meeting on the progress of roads in the district, Mr. Indrakaran Reddy promised to visit New Delhi and discuss the issue with Central government officials for expediting permissions.
He directed the State forest officials to speed up road building to Adivasi hamlets in the district, within the purview of the Forest and Environment related laws.
