Musi river is an important symbol of Hyderabad. To protect the river, members of Hyderabad Cycling Revolution and environmental enthusiasts organized a walk around the river. They urged the government to clean up Musi and other water bodies in the city.
Cyclist activists and environmental enthusiasts noticed that the lakes in the city, especially Musi, are not being cleaned up. The lakes are filled with trash and are being encroached upon illegally. The purity of Musi water is being compromised due to lack of inflow. It is important for the government to take action to save the river.
Mohammed Haseeb Ahmed, a member of Hyderabad Cyclists Revolution, expressed their concerns about the neglect of Musi. The previous government had plans to build bridges and clean up the river, but now it is the responsibility of the new government to take action. Musi is not being maintained properly, the water is extremely dirty, and new lanes have been left neglected. The river used to be a major water resource for Hyderabad, but now people have to rely on other sources due to pollution.
Santhana Selvan, Bicycle Mayor of Hyderabad, emphasized the importance of Musi River for the city. It serves as protection against urban floods and is the main water channel. It is crucial for the government, local communities, and NGOs to work together to revive the lake and develop a comprehensive plan for all water bodies in the city.
