Hyderabad has welcomed a refreshing transformation as Kukatpally Nalla Cheruvu has been reopened after major restoration works. The lake was officially inaugurated by Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, bringing new life to one of the important water bodies in the Kukatpally area.
For many years, the lake had suffered due to pollution, encroachments, and waste dumping. What was once a neglected lake has now been restored and developed into a clean and attractive public space for residents.
A Fresh Look for the Lake
The restoration project focused on reviving the lake and improving the surrounding environment. Authorities removed encroachments, cleared waste, and desilted the lake to increase its water-holding capacity.
Walking tracks and open areas were also developed around the lake so that residents can enjoy peaceful walks and spend time with their families. The transformation has turned Kukatpally Nalla Cheruvu into a pleasant spot for relaxation.

A New Spot for Local Residents
With the lake now open, people from Kukatpally and nearby areas have started visiting the place for evening walks and leisure time. The peaceful atmosphere and improved surroundings make it a great location for families, fitness enthusiasts, and nature lovers.
A Positive Step for Hyderabad
The reopening of Kukatpally Nalla Cheruvu is seen as a positive step in Hyderabad’s lake restoration efforts. Reviving such lakes not only improves the environment but also creates beautiful public spaces for citizens to enjoy.
