Vijay Deverakonda tweeted, “20,000 acres of Nallamala at Risk of being destroyed. We have destroyed our lakes, flooded our states, caused drought in others, polluted most of our drinking water sources. The quality of our air is deteriorating everywhere, while multiple cities are running out of water, to drink, brush , shower, wash, everything. And we continue to justify destroying any small good that is left.”

Earlier this week the JSP released a statement in which it mentioned on how the biodiversity would be affected severely due to uranium mining. The statement read, “The biodiversity of Nallamala would be affected and the animals will face a threat to their lives. The lives of the Chenchu tribe would become worse and no crop can be grown after the mining of uranium, as water would get polluted and may not be suitable for agriculture.” Stay tuned for further updates.
