Hyderabad, Feb.10 (RAHNUMA): The Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRA) is developing Nallacheruvu lake in Kukatpally, with a few finishing works still pending. The project is expected to be opened to the public soon.
Even before the official inauguration, the lake has already become a major attraction. Children, youth, women, and senior citizens are visiting in large numbers from surrounding areas within a radius of nearly five kilometres. People are using the premises for walking, playing shuttle, and other recreational activities, turning the lake into a vibrant public space.
It may be recalled that in September 2024, HYDRA carried out a large-scale demolition drive to remove illegal encroachments on the lake. At that time, the agency faced criticism from several quarters.
However, with the visible transformation of Nallacheruvu into a clean and accessible public asset, public sentiment has changed significantly. Thousands of residents are now appreciating HYDRA’s efforts, praising the initiative as a major step towards environmental protection and urban development.
