CM Revanth: Strict Measures Taken to Protect Musi River

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said that his government has taken a firm stand against irregularities after assuming office, particularly in matters related to the Musi River. Responding to members’ suggestions during a discussion on Musi rejuvenation in the Assembly, the Chief Minister said the government would carefully consider all constructive inputs given by legislators.

He stated that most constructions have come up within the river’s catchment areas and pointed out that renowned engineer Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya had long ago provided solutions to flood-related issues. Revanth Reddy also noted that Hyderabad continues to receive drinking water through projects built during the Nizam’s era.

The Chief Minister said development activities are being taken up within the river basin areas in a planned manner. He alleged that drainage lines from farmhouses were illegally connected to Gandipet in the past, adding that his government has taken strict action against such practices after coming to power.
