Congress leader Revanth Reddy said the Musi river revival project will focus on cleaning the waterway rather than mere beautification.
Revanth Reddy, a senior political figure, addressed the ongoing Musi river revival initiative, stressing that the project's priority is to cleanse the river rather than to enhance its aesthetic appeal. He highlighted that decades of pollution have degraded the water quality, making restoration of its ecological health essential.
According to Reddy, the revival plan includes measures to remove solid waste, treat industrial effluents, and prevent illegal dumping along the riverbanks. He warned that without a robust cleaning strategy, any beautification effort would be superficial and unsustainable.
The politician called for coordinated action among government agencies, local communities, and private stakeholders to ensure that the cleaning operations are comprehensive and long‑lasting. He urged citizens to support the initiative by avoiding littering and reporting violations.
Reddy concluded by stating that a cleaner Musi river will not only improve public health but also restore the cultural and economic significance the waterway holds for the region.
