If completed, our builders will be role models for the country
City builders have once again proved that they are not just selling flats and villas, but are also at the forefront of community service. They came forward to undertake the beautification works of 51 ponds in GHMC and HMDA limits.
Out of these, 26 ponds are under GHMC and the rest are under HMDA. With the encouragement of Municipal Administration Minister KT Rama Rao, these builders are all set to improve the city’s beautification. To this extent, the Minister handed over the MoU documents pertaining to the beautification works of the ponds to the realtors associations.
Lake beautification taken to next level?
Lake beautification works undertaken by builders will not be basic. There will be a walking track, filled with greenery. Open gym, playgrounds for children, gazebos, amphitheater, toilets etc, will be developed. As in foreign cities, these lake parks are designed to enable people enjoy their leisure time. Minister KTR suggested that these lakes should be restored on the lines of Durgam Cheruvu lake which is now a most sought-after shooting spot for movies and serials.
He said that about 115 acres of land in 13 ponds was in the possession of private owners to whom the State government issued TDRs of 200 percent market value and had them rehabilitated. He said the builders will only develop the ponds and carry out beautification.
Minister KTR said on this occasion that all necessary measures are being taken to make Hyderabad a cosmopolitan city. He said that electric buses will be made available in all parts of the city and medical devices park will be expanded. A Film City and a Sports City will be developed with international standards
