Ranganath and Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC) Commissioner G Srijana reviewed the development works being taken up around the two lakes, which are being readied for inauguration shortly.
At Sunnam Cheruvu, Ranganath directed officials to immediately complete work on the inlet channel, construction of a culvert and the approach road. He also instructed them to improve the roads leading to the lake from Gayatri Nagar and Borabanda.
