HYDRAA commissioner A.V. Ranganath on Thursday inspected ongoing desilting and flood prevention works in Ameerpet, one of the city’s most flood-prone zones during heavy rains.
Officials briefed the commissioner that three of the six main drainage pipelines had been restored, while work was progressing on the remaining lines.
Over 45 truckloads of silt and debris
have been removed from stormwater drains near Maitrivanam Junction and Gayatri Nagar. Ranganath said similar large-scale desilting across Hyderabad could provide lasting relief to several flood-affected areas.
He directed officials from GHMC, HMWS&SB, and the irrigation department to complete all pending works before the next monsoon to ensure smooth water flow and prevent flooding.
