Hyderabad is facing an environmental crisis as the protective GO 111 for Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar reservoirs was repealed in 2022. This move threatens 1.32 lakh acres of catchment area across 84 villages, potentially leading to uncontrolled urbanization. Experts warn that ignoring these strategic water resources could result in severe water scarcity, urban flooding, and rising temperatures, similar to the situation in Bengaluru. Protecting the Gandipet area is seen as an economic and social necessity for the city's future resilience against climate change. https://www.etvbharat.com/pa/opinion/warning-for-hyderbad-as-gandipet-in-peril-osman-sagar-and-himayat-sagar-water-body-pbs26060702405 #Creator program
