Ranganath said the state government was committed to protecting and restoring the historic Nizam-era lake. Constructed in 1897, Fox Sagar was once one of the region’s major sources of water, playing an important role before the development of reservoirs such as Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar.
The initiative is expected to improve the lake’s ecological condition while creating a recreational space for Hyderabad residents.
