Land sharks eating up lakes in Hyderabad - A video about Bachukunta lake, Chandanagar, Hyderabad




Natural resources are plundered with impunity across the country on a daily basis. Lakes in cities are an object of fascination for the real estate and construction companies, they build so called“Lake view villas and apartments”.

Hyderabad city is dotted with many lakes which used to be the source of drinking water and acted as reservoirs. With rapid urbanization most have these lakes have been encroached upon. Most of them have vanished and whatever are left are being destroyed with housing complexes coming around them.

It is the filthy collaboration between municipal authorities, builders and politicians that is destroying whatever natural remains in our cities.

The enclosed video is about the sad story about the death of “ Bachukunta lake” in Chandanagar, Hyderabad.
