When the city was flooded in 1908, the Nizam government constructed the Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar projects as a permanent solution to the flood problem. Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar are still quenching the thirst of the people of Hyderabad, the CM noted.
As part of the development of the Musi project, the Chief Minister said that we visited countries like London (Thames River), New York, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore. All world-class cities have protected their river basins.
In Gujarat, 60,000 families were relocated during the Sabarmati river cleanup. Ganges river was also cleaned up and built a riverfront in UP. BJP leaders promoted these structures as a sign of development, the Chief Minister said we never opposed such development activities and took exception to the opposition parties for obstructing the music project.
The CM highlighted that Nalgonda people were already suffering due to increasing pollution in Musi. Industrial pollution and animal waste caused huge pollution. Reports say that women living alongside Musi were facing health problems. After studying the development of global cities, the government was preparing plans to ensure that clean water flows in the Musi River.
Further, the CM said that the government appointed Consultancies to prepare plans for the Musi project. Development is already underway in a V-shape at Gandhi Sarovar near Bapu Ghat. A permanent solution to Musi pollution will also be done by diverting Godavari waters We are planning to utilise 15 TMC of the 20 TMC for drinking water needs and 5 TMC to maintain a continuous flow of clean water in the Musi River.

CM Revanth Reddy said that development of the ancient Shiva temple located in the Musi river basin near Manchirevula, building a Gurudwara, a mosque, and a church in the Musi river basin to promote religious harmony are part of the Musi project. Union Minister Rajnath Singh has also agreed to give defense land for the construction of Gandhi Sarovar. After the DPR (Detailed Project Report) is ready, we will take suggestions and advice from everyone.
The CM strongly objected to calling him a real estate broker. Real estate is also an industry. Similar criticisms were made when the Hitech City was developed.
In the next 20 years, urbanization will increase to 75 percent. ” The poison in the hearts of some people is far more dangerous than the pollution in the Musi River. Why are they spewing venom when I am explaining the details?They want to prevent the truth from reaching the people and stop any discussion. Why does it hurt them when I explain the details? Even their BRS MLAs are demanding that the Musi River be cleaned up.
The CM elaborated the government plan to construct a 55 km elevated corridor from Gandipet to Gourella.
Referring to the Old City Development, the CM said that the government will transform it into one of the greatest cities in the world. The Chief Minister suggested that the MLAs in the Greater Hyderabad area to come out with proposals to develop their constituencies. We are ready to build
good houses for the poor and provide them with better facilities. Our resolve is to transform Hyderabad into a world-class city.
