Hyderabad’s Masab Cheruvu Expands Due to Sewage Inflow
Hyderabad: Not all lakes in Hyderabad and its outskirts are shrinking. The Masab Cheruvu located on the Nagarjunasagar Highway, has almost doubled in its size, with sewage from hundreds of colonies being let into the water body. Jonnada Ram Reddy, a farmer from Kurmaguda, had lost nine acres of his agricultural land in the flood and sewage water. The size of the lake has increased to over 500 acres with continued sewage flow from 50 major colonies including Srinivasapuram, Siripuram, Veerannaguda among others in the Badangpet Municipal limits. The sewage and flood water crossed hundreds of metre beyond the boundaries fixed for FTL limits in Shikam land and Shikam patta lands, which are also called ‘ek fasal patta’ land by authorities, he said.
