Hyderabad: Out of 185 lakes, 105 lakes in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation limits have reached their full tank levels and are ready to flow. According to GHMC officials, 105 city lakes have reached their full tank levels and remaining lakes are 75 per cent full. Due to the rampant encroachments of nalas and lakesin the low-lying areas, the suburbs will be submerged if rain continues for one more day.
Officials also claimed that 30 per cent to 40 per cent of the lakes have been encroached resisting the tank capacity. On Tuesday evening, the water level has reached 514.75 m. Though the full-tank level is 513.41 m, no warning has been issued by the authorities.
As a precautionary measure, the Irrigation Department has opened the sluice gates which will serve to flush out the excess water. Speaking to The Hans India here on Tuesday, Shekhar Reddy, Superintendent Engineer of the Irrigation Department, said, “There is no cause for worry as the gates will flush out excess water at 600 cusecs.”
