HYDRAA fences 9 acres of Kaithalapur lake area

Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) on Thursday took steps to protect Kaithalapur lake in Kaithalapur village of Kukatpally mandal, Medchal-Malkajgiri district, by installing fencing around 9.06 acres of land falling within the lake’s Full Tank Level (FTL) limits to prevent encroachments.

As part of the lake protection drive, HYDRAA officials erect fencing around the FTL area. During the removal of thorny bushes using a JCB machine, a stone marker placed to identify a burial site was accidentally displaced after it came into contact with the machinery, leading to brief tension at the site.

According to the HYDRAA, the issue arose when the stone marker, which was concealed among thick bushes, was removed during the clearing operation.

A HYDRAA official supervising the works clarified that the burial site where the stone marker was located had been excluded from the fencing work, while the remaining FTL area was secured.

Meanwhile, police personnel reached the spot and made security arrangements to ensure that the fencing work proceeded without further disturbance.

HYDRAA also installed signboards identifying the land as part of Kaithalapur lake’s FTL area, alongside the fencing, as part of its efforts to prevent encroachments and safeguard the water body.
