Vastness of greenery stretches as far as the eye can see behind a line of roadside vendors selling sweet lime, dragon fruit, coconut water, and other seasonal fruit on the stretch from Boduppal towards Uppal crossroads.
Only a short distance from a famous multiplex, the verdancy does not represent a welcome respite from the city’s hubbub and pollution.
On the contrary, it is symbolic of the callousness with which the urban areas treat their water bodies. The greenery covering the entire stretch of Nalla Cheruvu is water hyacinth, a deadly weed the existence of which indicates the miserable straits of any lake. The weed extends into the surplus weir of the lake too, stagnating the flow.
