Ramanthapur Cheruvu in pathetic condition

Ramanthapur: Ramanthapur Cheruvu (Tank) which used to have a splendid look with greenery is now in a pathetic state of condition. It is filled with garbage, hyacinth and weeds. The foul smell emanating from the water body is affecting people living around the lake with nausea and headache.

Residents allegedly expressed ire over the lethargic attitude of officials concerned in keeping the tank clean. "Because of lack of cleanliness mosquito menace has increased resulting in sleepless nights. Also, a few huts have come up in the bed of the tank illegally," they added. They urged officials to come to their rescue and ensure beautification of tank.
