Save Bhimashankar! 600 Acres of Forest at Stake? Piyush Nikhare

Описание: 600 ACRES OF FOREST? | SAVE BHIMASHANKAR!

India needs development, but at what cost to our forests and wildlife?

This video explores the controversy surrounding Torrent Power’s 3,000 MW Saidongar-1 Pumped Storage Project in Karjat, Raigad, Maharashtra. Reports cite approximately 233 hectares (576 acres) of forest land and up to 48,000 trees potentially affected.

🌿 Key questions:

Were alternatives requiring less forest land considered?
How many trees have actually been cut?
What about wildlife, biodiversity and local communities?
Who will monitor compensatory afforestation?

The project is in the Karjat area, not confirmed to be inside Bhimashankar Wildlife Sanctuary. Protecting forests and pursuing responsible development both matter.

Telangana’s 2025 Kancha Gachibowli controversy offers another example of the debate over forests and development.
