“Take robust measures to prevent sewage from flowing into Mir Alam Tank and widen the drainage channels (nalas) to ensure the smooth flow of floodwater from the lake into the Musi River,” Revanth Reddy told officials.

He also directed officials to prepare plans for introducing water sports at Mir Alam Lake. The meeting discussed the feasibility of boating, water sports and adventure activities while adhering to the required technical, environmental and safety standards.

The Chief Minister directed officials to integrate the development of Mir Alam Tank with the nearby Nehru Zoological Park. The objective is to create a unified tourism experience combining the zoo with the lake’s natural surroundings, scenic beauty and family entertainment. A Detailed Project Report (DPR) for rejuvenating the tank and developing its surrounding areas and islands is currently being prepared.
