Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Tuesday directed officials to develop the Musi Riverfront on the 55-km stretch in Hyderabad in the next three years.
During a review meeting on Musi riverfront development with HMDA officials at the Nanakramguda office on Tuesday, Revanth Reddy asked the officials to select an iconic design which is suitable for people of all walks of life.
He said the design should provide all facilities like amusement parks, waterfalls, children's water sports, street vendors, business areas, shopping malls etc for the convenience of all sections.
The officials have been asked to study the designs of such riverfront development projects taken up elsewhere in the country or abroad. The Chief Minister advised the officials to take the necessary steps to start the related works within three months. Measures will also be taken to divert rainwater into the river Musi to manage sudden floods.
Revanth Reddy directed the authorities to take the required measures cautiously to avoid any hurdles in the development of the Musi riverfront.
As part of the Musi riverfront project, a tourism circuit will be designed by connecting the historical buildings such as Charminar, Taramati Baradari and others situated along the Musi catchment areas. The CM ordered officials to prepare the plans to undertake this project in PPP mode.
