HYDERABAD The developed and restored Thammidikunta lake at Madhapur in Serilingampally mandal of Rangareddy district, opposite Shilparamam, is scheduled to be inaugurated by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Wednesday (November 11). The lake, one of the six water bodies taken up for restoration in the first phase by the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA), had shrunk from nearly 30 acres to 14 acres due to encroachments.
Removal of encroachments, including the N Convention in 2024, helped restore the water body to its original extent. HYDRAA removed huge quantities of silt, plastic, construction debris and boulders, with desilting extending up to 15 feet. It also diverted sewage from nearby areas through a 1,200-mm-diameter pipeline to prevent wastewater from entering the lake.
Three inlets and an outlet were reconstructed to facilitate the flow of rainwater into and out of the lake.
