HYDERABAD: GHMC Commissioner RV Karnan noted that out of 83 lake development works across six zones, only 25 had commenced, warning irrigation engineers of delay.
He directed officials to speed up lake rejuvenation, walking tracks, beautification, and diversion of sewage drains, stressing that funds were not a constraint.
During a review meeting at the GHMC head office on Tuesday, RV Karnan also instructed engineering officials to fast-track SRDP, SNDP, H-CITI, and storm water drain projects across the city, adopting a mission-mode approach for timely completion.
He ordered zonal commissioners to submit fresh field-level status reports within a week and warned that disciplinary action would follow for negligent officials.
‘Expedite land acquisition in H-CITI projects’

RV Karnan directed officials to expedite land acquisition, ensure swift project grounding, and maintain high execution standards.
