Bachupally residents seek drone spraying, encroachment removal at Ambir Lake
Residents of Kakatiya Hills, Pragathi Nagar, and Bachupally in Hyderabad are expressing serious concerns about the deteriorating condition of Ambir Lake. The lake is facing issues like waste dumping, including medical waste, household trash, and debris, and encroachments by local businesses. This has led to an increase in water hyacinth, creating mosquito breeding grounds and posing health risks. Residents are demanding immediate action from the Nizampet Municipal Corporation, including drone spraying to control water hyacinth, removal of encroachments, mosquito fogging, and the restarting of the Sewage Treatment Plant to prevent sewage contamination. They are also urging the authorities to address the traffic issues and health hazards caused by the lake's deteriorating condition.01:40 PM Feb 20, 2025 IST
