Official action sounds death knell for two lakes close to ORR in Mallampet

It’s a quaint township tucked into a corner at Bowrampet, close to the Outer Ring Road. Accommodating 234 villa type residences hemmed in by wide roads and thick greenery, it is the kind of place everybody looks forward to live in. Added to these advantages is the rare privilege of two lakes, Chenna Cheruvu and Kotha Cheruvu on either side of the township.

There end the blessings of the Hi Rise PVR Meadows, one of the rare gated communities to have been constructed before 2010 in the neighbourhood of ORR. Lake view is no more a brownie point there now. Sewage mixed slush enters the community every time it rains, turning it into a horribly stinking cesspool.

“The catch pits overflow, and fill the roads with sewage. Due to crisscrossing of water supply lines with the storm water drains, some times sewage enters our sumps, forcing us to clean them up so very often. During recent rains, the water entered our homes too,” fumes P. Padma Priya, president of the Hi Rise PVR Meadows Owners’ Welfare Association.
