Hyderabad, July 9 (Maxim News): Musi Riverfront Development Project Phase I received a high-level field review on Wednesday. Chief Secretary Sanjay Jaju visited key intervention sites along the Phase I stretch and assessed progress on the ground. The visit covered Osmansagar, the Narsingi STP site, and the Gandhi Sarovar project lands.
During the inspection, Sanjay Jaju held detailed discussions with senior officials. These included the Managing Director and Joint Managing Director of MRDCL, the Managing Director of HMWSSB, and heads of several line departments. The review covered four core areas: flood mitigation measures, sewage treatment integration, land development readiness, and corridor-level infrastructure planning.
Furthermore, the Chief Secretary offered strategic and forward-looking suggestions to the project teams. He stressed the need for coordinated execution across all departments. He also emphasised scientific planning and strict adherence to environmental and technical standards. His remarks focused on delivering long-term sustainability and ecological balance for Hyderabad’s river corridor.
CS Directs MRDCL and HMDA to Prepare Masterplan for Musa-Eesa River Confluence Zone
Additionally, the Chief Secretary directed MRDCL and HMDA to prepare a separate masterplan. This plan will cover the area between the Musa and Eesa rivers up to their confluence at Gandhi Sarovar. The objective is to ensure better connectivity and sustainable urban growth along the riverfront in this zone.
Moreover, the Musi Riverfront Development Project forms a key part of Telangana’s integrated river rejuvenation and urban resilience programme. The Phase I stretch spans multiple critical locations across the city. It aims to transform the Musi river corridor into a clean, green, and liveable urban waterfront for Hyderabad’s residents.
MRDCL confirmed that it will incorporate the guidance provided during the review. The organisation said it will continue to accelerate implementation across the Phase I stretch. As a result, field-level teams have been directed to align their work schedules with the priorities identified during Wednesday’s inspection.
However, specific timelines and completion targets for the Phase I stretch were not disclosed at the time of the review. Further updates are expected as MRDCL revises its implementation plan based on the Chief Secretary’s directions. The Musi Riverfront Development Project remains one of Telangana’s most watched infrastructure initiatives for 2026. (Maxim News)
