Published - February 11, 2026 11:26 pm IST - HYDERABAD The Hyderabad Disaster Management & Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) has intensified efforts to restore Pragathi Nagar Lake by curbing waste dumping and initiating clean-up measures. After recently removing silt from the lake, HYDRAA has now erected fencing along a 1.5-km stretch of the road passing through the lake to prevent further dumping of garbage. The move follows complaints from local residents that chicken, meat and fish vendors, along with nearby shopkeepers, were indiscriminately dumping animal waste and other waste along the stretch, leading to severe stench in the area.
