Two Hyderabad lakes get Rs 29 crore makeover
Sunnam Cheruvu and Tammidi Kunta, two lakes in Hyderabad, are set for a beautification and rejuvenation project worth Rs 29 crore. The project will be funded by the state's lake development fund and will cover the construction of 3.38 km of new roads, footpaths, and a walking track around the lakes.
Officials have said the work will also include the installation of new lighting, benches, and the planting of trees along the lake boundaries. The aim is to transform the water bodies into recreational spaces for the public while also improving their ecological health.
The project is expected to be completed within a year. The move is part of a larger effort by the Telangana government to restore and beautify water bodies across the city.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The project addresses two specific problems around these lakes: encroachment and lack of public access. By building roads and footpaths, the government is drawing a clear boundary that can deter future encroachment and give residents a usable public space. The source does not specify how the rejuvenation of the water quality itself will be carried out or monitored. The completion deadline of one year will be the first concrete measure of whether this plan moves beyond infrastructure to actual lake restoration.
