The deteriorating condition of the lake has sparked widespread concern on social media, with multiple videos surfacing online showing the lake almost entirely covered with wild aquatic plants and weeds. Once projected as a major urban leisure attraction, the current visuals have shocked residents and netizens alike.

With growing public pressure and online backlash, residents hope that authorities will take swift action to restore Durgam Cheruvu, protect its ecosystem, and bring it back to the standards once showcased to the city.
