The project in question was NH 365 BB from Suryapet to Khammam for the expansion of the width of the road from 2 lanes to 4 lanes for improving traffic flow. The lake falls on the right side of the said project towards Khammam and the affected area was nearly 50×25 square metre. In fact, it was also found that the Chuttu Kunta lake was linked to at least 12 others downstream lakes spreading across four different mandals. If the lake is filled up, it would lead to all the tanks drying up.
