Ranglalkunta lake rejuvenated into eco-friendly oasis in Hyd’s Financial District

The Ranglalkunta Lake in the city’s Financial District has undergone a remarkable transformation, turning into a clean, green, and eco-friendly space that supports both nature and the community.

Once a neglected water body, the lake has been rejuvenated through a joint effort by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) and Virtusa Corporation, with the implementation led by the United Way of Hyderabad. The project aims to improve the local environment, strengthen flood control measures, and promote sustainable urban living.

The rejuvenation work included desilting the lake, cleaning its surroundings, and creating green zones around it. Walking paths, seating areas, and eco-friendly landscaping have been added to make the place welcoming for visitors. The project has also focused on restoring the lake’s natural ecosystem, helping attract various species of birds and aquatic life.

Officials said the initiative not only improves the scenic beauty of the area but also enhances flood resilience by improving water storage and drainage capacity. The restored lake will act as a natural buffer during heavy rains, reducing the risk of flooding in nearby localities.

Residents of the Financial District have welcomed the move, saying the rejuvenated lake has brought new life to the community. Families, joggers, and nature lovers are now frequent visitors, enjoying the calm and clean environment.

This project reflects Hyderabad’s growing focus on balancing urban growth with environmental protection. By reviving water bodies like Ranglalkunta Lake, the city is taking strong steps toward creating a greener, more sustainable future.
