Telangana CM inspects works at Mir Alam tank

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy directed officials to ensure sewage does not enter Mir Alam Tank in Hyderabad. It should be widened so that floodwaters from the lake can flow into Musi river. 

Mr. Reddy, who also holds Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) portfolio, inspected the suspension bridge works at the lake on Thursday (August 27, 2026). Officials showed images to explain to him the works underway there.

The Chief Minister asked officials to plan water sports and develop the island at the lake. Since it is close to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, the lake should be well equipped to attract tourists, he said.
