Inuparathi gattu forest is around 8000 acres and since Nizam period it has been with forest status. notification as Reserve Forest under Sec.4 of Telangana Forest Act is under process by the collector Warangal urban.

Similarly,lot of wild fauna like sloth bear,deers,chousinghaas,chinkaara,jungle cats,monitor lizards and peafowls are in good number..This area is 1% green lungs of Warangal Urban district fall in Dharmasagar and Elkathurthy mandals.
Forest department had been carrying out Staggered trenches by MGNREGS and water harvesting structures like RFDs,checkdams ,plantations since long ago.

Unfortunately,in recent times lot of encroachment by farmers  and irregular pattas have come up with by survey numbers inside the forest land and electrical line works ,temple constructions are planned by false pattadars.

Article 51(A)(G) of constitution defined it's fundamental Duty  of every citizen to protect natural resources like forests,lakes,hills etc.
Green clubs like Vana seva society, Orugallu Wildlife Society,etc are objecting misuse of these valuable,heritage forest site for nonforestry  activities purpose.

Hence there is public demand to
