Krishna Kanth Park in Hyderabad faces overgrowth of water hyacinth and weeds in its water bodies, causing foul odours and affecting visitors. Officials plan annual cleaning, but lack of maintenance diminishes the park’s charm and ecological balance.
A decades-old tree at Krishna Kanth Park in Yousufguda, Hyderabad, was felled by GHMC’s Urban Biodiversity Wing to prevent unauthorised entry into the park at night. The move triggered strong reactions from morning walkers, yoga practitioners, and environmental activists, who criticised the lack of ecological assessment and demanded a detailed explanation.
As the Jubilee Hills bypoll campaign entered its final stretch, BRS, BJP, and Congress leaders turned Krishna Kanth Park into a morning campaign ground, mingling with walkers and yoga enthusiasts to woo voters ahead of polling on November 11.
