Delay in demolition of illegal aqua ponds ruins agriculture in K'seema
April 06, 2025
|The New Indian Express Tirupati
Rampant and unauthorised aqua farming in Dr BR Ambedkar Konaseema district has triggered an ecological crisis, with chemical and effluent discharge from 434 illegal aqua ponds devastating agricultural lands across three coastal mandals—Sakhinetipalli, Maidikuduru and alikipuram.
The discharge has rendered the soil infertile, destroying thousands of coconut and palm trees and wiping out maize, groundnut and vegetable crops.
Following complaints from farmers, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) ordered the immediate demolition of the illegal ponds to halt further environmental damage. However, lagging enforcement is drawing public criticism and raising questions about administrative accountability.
Dr BR Ambedkar Konaseema District Collector Mahesh Kumar Ravirala had set a March 15 deadline to remove all 434 unauthorised ponds.

So You Think You are an Empath?
In this epoch of information overload, we watch a thousand crises unfold every day, where the sacred mixes with the profane at top speed, where the latest war updates are followed in quick succession by clips on how to wear a mekhela chador the proper way, how to make naan on an overturned tawa, what Ji Chang Wook said at the Gucci launch. This is popcorn for the brain, a topic I have addressed in an earlier column; we ingest everything, gulp it down, then move quickly on to the next snippet. Who really has the time to linger?
