Revanth To Inaugurate Thammidikunta Lake Today
HYDRAA revives lake, expands water spread to 26 acres; 34 displaced families to receive housing documents.
Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy will inaugurate the restored Thammidikunta Lake in Madhapur on Wednesday at 6 pm, following its redevelopment by the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA).
As part of the programme, the Chief Minister will distribute Indiramma housing documents to families who lost their huts within the lake’s Full Tank Level (FTL) limits during the development works. This includes 34 families displaced during the development of Pedda Cheruvu in Ramantapur.
Actor Akkineni Nagarjuna, who supported the development of Thammidikunta Lake, will attend as the guest of honour. Ministers, public representatives and senior officials from various departments are also expected to participate.
According to HYDRAA, the restoration involved removing more than 30,000 truckloads of silt, construction debris and other waste, including biomedical waste. The lake’s water spread has increased from around 10 acres to 26 acres, while its depth has improved from 0.6 metres to 4.6 metres.
The restored lake features a walking pathway of about 1.6 km, an open gym, a children’s play area, landscaped green spaces and seating facilities. Thousands of saplings have also been planted around it.
HYDRAA said the restoration was aimed at improving water storage, groundwater recharge and flood resilience in the surrounding areas. A public meeting will follow the inauguration, where the Chief Minister will address attendees.
