Cyberabad Municipal Corporation launched a large-scale lake cleanup on Sunday as part of the Praja Palana 99 Days Action Plan.
Teams and volunteers removed about 20.5 metric tonnes of waste from 57 lakes across Hyderabad, with strong participation from local residents showing growing civic awareness for protecting urban water resources.
While focused on Telangana's IT corridor, similar lake restoration drives echo efforts in Andhra Pradesh, where water bodies face encroachment and pollution threats.
These initiatives signal broader momentum for sustainable urban lakes in southern India, promising healthier ecosystems and better water security if sustained.
