Satellite images reveal encroachment of surplus channels of two lakes in Suraram by Malla Reddy Health City

Social media account of the Malla Reddy Health City describes it as one of the largest medical hubs in the State of Telangana, spread over 100-acre campus with two hospitals, an exclusive Oncology Block, two medical colleges and two dental colleges, besides one nursing college.

The health city, ensconced in the triangle formed by three lakes as vertices in the Suraram area of Qutbullahpur suburb, also houses the lifeline of all the three lakes, namely, Chinna Bandam Cheruvu, Lingam Cheruvu and one more Bhajanshai Kunta.

Chinna Bandam Cheruvu receives its flows from the Pedda Bandam Cheruvu upstream. Excess water from the former merges with the flows from the Lingam Cheruvu right on the health city campus. From there, the flow traverses the length of health city, to enter the Bhajanshai Kunta. During the October 2019 rains the floodwaters entered the ICU of the hospital.
