Thammidi Kunta Lake restored to 30 acres from 14 acres: CM Revanth Reddy

Hyderabad (UNI) Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Wednesday evening inaugurated the restored Thammidi Kunta Lake in Madhapur, stating that the government was committed to protecting lakes and restoring Hyderabad's natural water bodies for future generations.
Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister said the lake, which had shrunk to just 14 acres, had been expanded to 30 acres. He appreciated actor Akkineni Nagarjuna for voluntarily handing over two acres of land to the government for the restoration project, describing him as a hero in real life as well.
Revanth Reddy said nearly 50 per cent of the 1,372 lakes that once existed in Hyderabad had disappeared due to various reasons, resulting in waterlogging and flooding in residential areas. He said lake restoration was essential to prevent flooding and protect the city's environment.
Referring to the proposed Musi River rejuvenation project, he said the river had become heavily polluted, causing hardships to people, particularly in Nalgonda district. The government would soon launch the first phase of the project and ensure that no one suffered losses during its implementation. He appealed to political parties and citizens to extend their cooperation beyond political differences.
The Chief Minister said the government was working to develop Hyderabad into a world-class city by restoring lakes and creating a lake-based economy. He also proposed developing the Thammidi Kunta premises as a cultural and recreational destination, including facilities for Dussehra celebrations. He directed police officials to ensure adequate security at the lake.
MPs Vem Narendar Reddy, Konda Vishweshwar Reddy, Raghuveer Reddy and Anil Kumar Yadav, Legislative Council Chief Whip Patnam Mahender Reddy, several MLAs and MLCs, and actor Nagarjuna attended the inauguration. The Chief Minister also visited a photo exhibition showcasing the lake's development.
