Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy urged defence minister Rajnath Singh, during their meeting in Delhi on Wednesday, to transfer 98.2 acres of defence land in Hyderabad for the Gandhi Sarovar project, which is the state government is taking up under the Musi rejuvenation programme.
Briefing Singh on the project, Revanth Reddy said the Gandhi Sarovar, planned at the confluence of the Musi and Isa rivers, would have a Gandhi Circle of Unity. Seeking the Centre’s support, he stressed that the project is designed as a symbol of national integration and to spread Gandhian values.
The Chief Minister said the Gandhi Sarovar would house a knowledge hub, meditation village, handloom promotion centre, entertainment hub, landscaped zones, ghats and a peace statue museum. The project was aimed at combining heritage, ecology and urban development while creating a landmark space for Hyderabad.
Accompanying the Chief Minister were MPs P. Balaram Nayak, Dr Kadiyam Kavya, Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy, Musi River Development Corporation managing director E.V. Narasimha Reddy, and Central projects and schemes coordinator Dr Gaurav Uppal.
Revanth Reddy discussed plans to construct an iconic gateway at Gandhi Sarovar, on the lines of the Gateway of India in Mumbai and India Gate in Delhi. The gateway was intended to serve as a symbolic entrance to Hyderabad and a landmark structure under the Musi rejuvenation initiative. He discussed proposals on erecting an iconic tower subject to feasibility, which would stand tall near the Bapu Ghat area.
The project blueprint also includes the development of an eco-theme park adjacent to the Outer Ring Road, with the iconic tower positioned on the Bapu Ghat side. An elevated gateway will connect both structures, reinforcing the symbolic vision of the project. The government intends to make the Bapu Ghat area a world-class tourist and cultural attraction, with improved infrastructure to draw both domestic and international visitors.
To ensure better connectivity, a new flyover is proposed from the Himayatsagar approach road towards Attapur, linking directly to Gandhi Sarovar. This would create a seamless corridor providing access from the Shamshabad airport to the project site, easing travel for tourists and locals.
