Students of Satavahana University, led by the Joint Action Committee (JAC-SU), organised a signature campaign at the main entrance of the university building in Karimnagar on Friday, seeking protection of the campus greenery and biodiversity, according to a press release.

The campaign was organised to oppose the alleged felling of dozens of trees and excavation of soil on the sprawling campus in the name of development works.

The JAC said the activities were posing a threat to the campus’s biodiversity and natural habitat.

Apart from students, several morning walkers and nature lovers, also signed a large banner put up at the university entrance, expressing their support for the conservation of trees and natural habitats, the release said.
