Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Wednesday inaugurated the rejuvenated Thammidikunta Lake in Madhapur, expanding its area from 14 acres to 30 acres and dedicating the restored waterbody to the public.
Highlighting the importance of environmental conservation amid rapid urbanisation, Revanth Reddy said Hyderabad’s identity should extend beyond its growing skyline to include its lakes, green spaces and natural ecosystems.
The Chief Minister stressed the need to protect the city’s waterbodies, pointing out that residents continue to face urban flooding even after brief spells of rainfall. He said the government could not allow precious lakes and natural resources to disappear.
Reiterating his government’s vision, Revanth Reddy said efforts were underway to restore the Musi River and transform Hyderabad into a world-class global city that balances economic development with environmental sustainability.
He emphasised that preserving lakes and green spaces was essential for the city’s long-term growth and ecological balance.
The rejuvenation of Thammidikunta Lake is part of the broader focus on restoring Hyderabad’s waterbodies and strengthening its urban environmental infrastructure.
