Hyderabad: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) directed officials to take up measures to improve sanitation, water quality, and environmental upkeep at lakes across the city following the immersion of Ganesh idols. GHMC Commissioner RV Karnan on Thursday visited Saroornagar Lake accompanied by LB Nagar Zonal Commissioner Hemanth Keshav Patil and Assistant Commissioner (Sanitation) Raghu Prasad. They inspected the lake premises and reviewed the ongoing works.

During the visit, the Commissioner assessed the present condition of the lake and its surroundings along with officials from line departments. He stressed the need for sustained efforts to maintain cleanliness, enhance water quality, and protect the lake ecosystem.

After the immersions, the GHMC’s cleanup operations were taken up in the lakes. The cleaning involves segregating puja materials and other debris from the lakes.
