HYDRAA to Revive Cherlapally Lake in Hyderabad
The Prisons Department and HYDRAA are working together to fix up the lake near Cherlapally Jail in Hyderabad.
They plan to build a walking path, mini-parks, and install cameras around the lake.
The project will be paid for by companies in the area through CSR programs.
This is similar to how Ameenpur Lake was fixed up, which brought back birds.
HYDRAA will develop and beautify Cherlapally Lake.
The lake is 58 acres and connected to other lakes.
Plans include a walking track, mini-parks, and CCTV cameras.
The Prisons Department is seeking CSR funding from local industries.
The project aims to give back to the community and involve inmates.
