Immediate Action Taken
Following the inspection, authorities dismantled the tin fencing at Marri Chettu Junction in Manikonda, where the illegal construction was taking place. Officials reiterated that no structures should be built under high-tension power lines due to safety hazards.
Significance of Bulkapur Nala
Bulkapur Nala originates from Shankarpally’s Bulkapur Lake and passes through Khanapur, Kokapet, Narsingi, Puppalaguda, Manikonda, Dargah, Shaikpet, Tolichowki, Pochamma Basti, and Chintalabasti before finally reaching Hussain Sagar. It plays a crucial role in draining rainwater and recharging groundwater levels in these areas.
Local residents urged authorities to continue restoring the nala, emphasizing its importance as the only natural drainage channel leading to Hussain Sagar. They expressed hope that the removal of encroachments would improve water flow and groundwater levels in the region.
