Khairatabad’s iconic vertical garden withers due to lack of watering

The iconic vertical garden at the bustling Khairatabad Junction, once celebrated as a lush green oasis amid urban concrete chaos, has turned into a dreary eyesore.

The city’s costly green-wall beautification project has rapidly deteriorated because of inadequate watering and official negligence, angering thousands of daily commuters.

“HYDERABAD” with plants at Khairatabad junction, once a busy selfie point offering a lush green backdrop for photographs, has turned barren and lost its aesthetic appeal.

Urban Biodiversity officials at the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) built the vertical garden on the right side while coming from the Telangana Secretariat and Khairatabad flyover to a height of 10 ft and a length of 260 ft.
