Petition in SC against Chirajeevi's rally in Tirupati

An NGO from Andhra Pradesh has moved to the Supreme Court for restraining south indian film star Chiranjeevi from holding a public meeting in Tirupathi on 26th of this month to float his political party. The application has asked the Supreme Court to direct Andhra Pradesh government to withdraw the permission granted to Chiranjeevi in this regard.

The application states that the proposed meeting is scheduled to be held at Avilala tank area which is a protected area under environment laws. The application also states that Tirupati Urban Development Authority had refused to grant permission on the ground that said area is protected by the orders of the Supreme Court. The District collector however accorded the permission and the work had started in the area covered by Avilala Tank.

According to petitioners 10 lakh people are expected to attend the meeting and if this meeting is conducted in this area, the entire greenry would be destroyed. In the meantime, Chiranjeevi has also moved an application in the court saying no orders should be passed without hearing their side. The matter is likely to be taken up on Thursday.
