Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka defends the controversial Hyderabad Industrial Lands Transformation Policy as an essential environmental measure to prevent pollution problems similar to Delhi's, while generating revenue for welfare schemes. The policy allows conversion of industrial lands within Hyderabad's Outer Ring Road into multi-purpose zones, facing opposition from BRS who alleges a massive land scam worth Rs 5 lakh crore.
