Hyderabad, March 28 (). The Municipal Administration and Urban Development Department of Telangana on Tuesday launched a program for rejuvenation and development of 50 water bodies in and around Hyderabad.
Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister K.T. Rama Rao inaugurated the lake development program at Khajaguda lake.
Of the 50 lakes, 25 are in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) limits and the remaining 25 are in the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) limits.
Minister KTR handed over MoU certificates to real estate development companies adopting the lakes for development. With a call to action, he urged them to take the development process up to world-class standards.
He said that the periphery of the lakes would have walking tracks, landscaping, open gym, benches, toilets, lights for evening walks, playground for children, gazebos, amphitheater and other facilities.
KTR said the inaccessible Cheruvu turned into a major tourist attraction after the lake was developed and more such attractions would follow.
He said that the idea of developing the lakes came when the state government wanted to create a place for senior citizens to take a walk, come with their children and other family members and spend leisure time.
The minister talked about the rapid growth in Hyderabad in the last eight years in IT, life sciences and other sectors and the world-class infrastructure created here.
Minister KTR said, the people of Hyderabad are feeling proud of the development on all fronts. We have just started our journey. There are many plans.
Giving a glimpse of some of the plans for Hyderabad, the minister said that in future Hyderabad will have at least 250 km of metro lines in and around the city and all Hyderabad buses will be electric.
Stating that no other city in India has the future and potential that Hyderabad has, KTR said plans are underway to expand to a medical device park, another world-class film city, an international-class sports city and an academic city. Are.
