HYDRAA Starts Nacharam Pedda Cheruvu Development

HYDRAA has launched restoration works for Nacharam Pedda Cheruvu, located in the Uppal Assembly constituency. The lake, spread across 108.30 acres, is being developed to improve its ecological condition and provide better public amenities.

HYDRAA Commissioner AV Ranganath formally inaugurated the development works on Thursday.

₹28 Crore Project to Transform the Lake

The lake restoration project is being carried out with an estimated cost of around ₹28 crore.

The project includes:

• Construction of a wide lake bund
• Development of a walking path
• Seating arrangements for people of all age groups along the bund
• Children’s play areas
• Parks
• Open gyms
• Platforms for yoga and recreational activities

Speaking to reporters, Commissioner AV Ranganath said that desilting up to 10 feet is being undertaken in the lake. He added that the entire project is expected to be completed within nine months.

HYDRAA Says Lake Restoration Will Improve Groundwater and Living Conditions

The Commissioner said that lakes restored by HYDRAA have not only helped reduce monsoon flood problems but have also contributed to an increase in groundwater levels.

He stated that plastic waste is being removed from Nacharam Lake and expressed confidence that groundwater levels in the area would improve after the restoration.

AV Ranganath further said that local residents had been facing problems due to sewage water, foul smell, and mosquitoes. He said the restoration of the lake would resolve these issues and create a pleasant environment for the surrounding community.

Nagireddy Kunta in Yapral Also to Be Developed

The HYDRAA Commissioner also announced that Nagireddy Kunta in Yapral, Medchal-Malkajgiri district, will be developed.

On Thursday, AV Ranganath conducted a field inspection after local residents complained about encroachments within the Full Tank Level (FTL) area of the lake. Residents also alleged that some people had encroached upon nearby government land.

Locals informed the Commissioner that the flood canal connecting Nagireddy Kunta to Oora Cheruvu had been diverted, resulting in flooding. They said residential areas between the two lakes as well as upstream localities were getting submerged during heavy rains.

Residents also stated that, apart from the diversion of the canal, encroachments had reduced the width of the nala, worsening the flooding problem.

Taking serious note of the complaints, Commissioner AV Ranganath directed HYDRAA officials to immediately resolve the issue.

HYDRAA has officially begun the ₹28 crore restoration of the 108.30-acre Nacharam Pedda Cheruvu in Hyderabad’s Uppal Assembly constituency, with Commissioner AV Ranganath launching the works on Thursday.
