HYDERABAD: MAUD Principal Secretary M Dana Kishore on Saturday instructed Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) officials to expedite the completion of under-construction underground reservoirs in the city limits.
He inspected the ongoing construction of the underground reservoirs at the entrance of Lake View Guest House and opposite the Secretariat.
GHMC officials told Dana Kishore that the construction of underground tanks — capacity of 10 to 40 lakh litres — has been undertaken at 12 places on an experimental basis, of which four have been completed.
According to the MAUD Principal Secretary, the underground tanks are being constructed to drain rainwater and prevent water from stagnating on the roads and to avoid traffic problems.
