CM Revanth Asks Officials To Speed Up Musi Rejuvenation

Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has instructed officials to accelerate the progress of the Musi rejuvenation project.

He reviewed the bridge designs slated for construction over the Mir Alam Tank, as well as the Gandhi Sarovar planned for Bapughat.

Revanth Reddy emphasised, "Tenders for the bridge at Mir Alam Tank should be issued in June. Additionally, the Detailed Project Report (DPR) must be developed, incorporating the required surveys, reports, proposals, and designs."

The Chief Minister held a review meeting regarding the Musi rejuvenation project at the Command Control Center here on Friday. During the meeting, officials showcased the prototype designs created by consultancies for the bridge over the Mir Alam Tank using a PowerPoint presentation.

He urged the officials to construct the two and a half kilometer bridge in an impressive manner, prioritising designs that ensure the highest level of safety for visitors and passengers. In addition to the bridge, plans have been made to enhance three island-like areas around the Mir Alam Tank to draw in tourists.

The Chief Minister recommended that these three islands be developed attractively, featuring elements such as a bird sanctuary and waterfalls, similar to the Gardens by the Bay in Singapore.

"Designs should incorporate convention centers suitable for weddings, as well as an adventure park, a theme park, and an amphitheater. The Detailed Project Report (DPR) should include all necessary proposals for developing the island alongside initiatives to purify the tank's water. These proposals should follow a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model," instructed Revanth Reddy.

The Chief Minister emphasised that the island area must be linked to the nearby zoo park, incorporating the Mir Alam Bridge, and instructed officials to enhance the zoo park in alignment with the development plan.

Revanth Reddy recommended that all feasible options for the zoo's improvement be explored in collaboration with the zoo authorities, adhering to established regulations. He also urged that development proposals be formulated to increase its appeal to visitors.

Government advisors Vem Narender Reddy and Srinivasa Raju, Principal Secretary Dana Kishore (Municipal), Musi River Development Corporation Joint Managing Director Gauthami and senior officials participated in the meeting.
