Fox Sagar to get a major facelift as mini-Tank Bund
Hyderabad: HYDRAA has launched comprehensive restoration works at the historic Fox Sagar Lake in Jeedimetla, unveiling plans to transform the water body into a mini reservoir and develop it as a mini Tank Bund. HYDRAA Commissioner AV Ranganath performed the groundbreaking ceremony on Friday, formally initiating the project.
Speaking at the event, Ranganath stated that the lake will undergo a major transformation and emerge as an attractive, rejuvenated water body within a year. The restoration initiative aims to clear encroachments, eliminate pollution, and revive the historic lake, which has deteriorated severely over the years due to the unchecked discharge of domestic sewage and industrial chemical effluents.
Ranganath explained that engineering works will involve desilting and removing nearly five metres of accumulated silt from the lake bed.
