Social media platforms abuzz with pleas to save greenery of AlipiriThe denizens of Tirupati are opposing the move to extend the Garuda Varadhi, the elevated corridor project, up to Alipiri, raising concerns over the consequent loss of greenery. The Tirupati Smart City Corporation Limited (TSCCL) and the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) are jointly executing the project. However, the TTD took everyone by surprise by announcing the extension of the project recently. We urge the TTD authorities to reconsider their decision,” says Nithin and Prudhvi, administrators of the Facebook page “It’s My Tirupati”. “The extension plan will lead to felling of hundreds of full-grown trees,” he said.
