Hyderabad: Minister of Municipal Administration and Urban Development of Telangana KT Rama Rao on Friday asked Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority to explore the possibility of developing Ibrahimpatnam Lake.

Ibrahimpatnam Lake comes up on the right side of the road as you drive towards Vijayawada after crossing the Outer Ring Road. It was amongst the last lakes planned and built by Ibrahim Qutb Shah during his reign between 1550 and 1580 AD.
