At Pedda Cheruvu and Nalla Cheruvu STPs, he enquired about the status of internal roads and beautification works. Directing officials to conduct a trial run by the end of this month, he also advised workers to follow appropriate protective measures at the work site.

Solution to the sewage problem:

MA&UD Minister KT Rama Rao‘s vision to make Hyderabad the first city in the country to process 100 per cent of its sewage, would soon turn into reality.

A total of 31 STPs are being constructed in five circles of the city in three packages. When these treatment plans become fully functional, 1282 MLDs of sewage can be treated daily.

In addition to that, new STPs are being constructed with advanced sequencing batch reactor technology, further solving the sewage problem in the city.
