HYDERABAD: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy will inaugurate the revived Batukammakunta lake in Amberpet on September 25, a day ahead of the festival. For providing recreational space, the authorities have built a new walking track and a children’s play area around the lake. According to records in 1962-63, the lake was spread across 16 acres and 13 guntas, including the buffer zone. Before HYDRAA started revival efforts, the Batukammakunta lake had become a dumping yard plagued by encroachments and legal disputes. According to locals, the revival of Batukammakunta enhances festivities for them as they immerse Batukammas in this lake.
