Revanth Reddy Opens Restored Bathukamma Kunta, Orders Field Drive to Rehabilitate Musi Buffer‑Zone Families

The shift from planning to on-the-ground action prioritizes flood safety given recent cloudbursts that overwhelmed Hyderabad’s drainage.

Overview

  • Following the inauguration, the Chief Minister directed the Hyderabad Collector and HYDRAA to hold a special review, conduct field inspections, and enumerate structures abutting the Musi in Amberpet to plan rehabilitation.
  • He sought cooperation from the public and all legislators within GHMC limits to identify homes and huts in buffer zones, assuring support for residents who lose houses under the project.
  • A mini Secretariat campus is slated for Amberpet with immediate fund release and all required permissions targeted before December 9, according to the Chief Minister.
  • The government highlighted encroachment enforcement, noting that a portion of the N Convention Centre on Thummidikunta Lake was demolished, while warning people against buying properties developed on government land.
  • Citing a climate-driven mismatch, the Chief Minister said legacy systems were built for about 2 cm of rain a day, whereas recent events have seen nearly 40 cm in one to two hours, necessitating upgraded infrastructure.
