Overview
- Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy is set to unveil the Phase‑1 Detailed Project Report at the ‘Musi Invites’ stakeholder event in Hyderabad.
- The plan covers a 21‑km stretch and features the Gandhi Sarovar at Bapu Ghat, including a 100‑metre tower and a proposed 35–50 metre Gandhi statue, with the sarovar budgeted at about ₹400 crore.
- Officials outline engineered measures such as 70 sewage treatment plants, 15 weirs, protection walls designed for high flows, desilting and bank leveling to sustain clean water and manage floods.
- Water sourcing includes pipeline works to bring about 5 tmc of Godavari water annually, with roughly half earmarked for drinking and the balance to help maintain river flow.
- New transport links are part of the long‑range vision, with HMDA proposing 29 additional bridges on the Musi toward a total of 46 by 2050, even as land‑acquisition notices spur opposition and calls from Medha Patkar and others to pause the rollout, hold public hearings and review displacement risks.
