The ecotourism project was definitely a major obstacle that Kondapur had to overcome. Not only was the project scrapped, but criminal action was taken against all those developers, IAS officers, IFS officers and even the current state pollution board! Serves them right for trying to make money off the property value at Kondapur. Just the fact that there is a huge forest stretch at Kondapur is a huge boon because Hyderabad has been getting very congested lately and facing many population problems. I read here http://www.commonfloor.com/guide/hyderabad-realty-gachibowli-and-kondapur-ideal-destinations-33327.html that Kondapur is a great place to live in though. It's quite well developed, not as polluted as the other parts of the city and some areas in Kondapur are completely clean and sanitary.

This is actually a huge problem that Kondapur is facing. There is high demand for property in the area because of the number of people and companies that are present in the locality. More and more companies and new projects have started in this area and it is slowly becoming a hindrance. The roads are also getting severely damaged because of the number of vehicles that travel on it. Before the area has to deal with problems of over population head on, provision of facilities and civic ammenities should be improved and increased. This is the only way Kondapur can face growth plus development.

Kondapur and Gachibowli are the more developed areas in Hyderabad and because of that projects involving a multicrore investment on turning forest lands into commercialized spaces is actually even considered an option for some developers and officers. Thank our lucky stars that there were some government officials who saw the amount of losses that would have been incurred if the project went forward. In order to build a park, an entertainment centre and a zoo, the ecology in the forests would have seriously taken a toll. The animals, birds and trees would have all disappeared and the effects of tourism would have even affected humans in the form of pollution and population explosion. Thankgod the matter has been closed! :D
