YSR's sudden and unfortuante departure wasnt just a loss for the state and the country but it seems it will also sound the death knell for wildlife inside the state's pristine eco corridor. AP govt minister yesterday announced building a memorial at the crash site which lies deep inside the heart of Nallamala Forests and is part of
Gundlabrahmeshwaram wildlife sanctuary according to a TOI report. If YSR was alive one can safely imagine he would never allow this to happen. Building a memorial will destroy the forests on account of increased tourist activity and will facilitate encroachment inside, an area hitherto of bereft large human settlements. Obviously the green bridage is protesting the move. one hopes better sense prevails amongst AP govt officials and the forests are left untouched so that YSR's soul can rest in peace.
