Telangana's Chief Minister, A Revanth Reddy, unveiled his vision for Hyderabad's old city, aiming to revitalize the Musi riverbed into a bustling 'economic growth center' and a pivotal 'job creation hub.' Additionally, overseeing the municipal administration and urban development, Reddy outlined plans to transform the entire stretch into a tourist magnet. He urged authorities to craft comprehensive strategies for constructing bridges, commercial shopping hubs, amusement parks, hawker zones, and pathways along the Musi River through public-private partnerships. 

During a recent review meeting attended by Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, ministers D Sridhar Babu and C D Raja Narasimha, and All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi, Reddy emphasized the river's potential. Originating 100 km from Hyderabad and 50 km through the city before joining the Krishna River, the Musi demarcates the old city. 

Reddy promptly assessed the Musi Riverfront Development Corporation's operations after assuming office. The previous administration had proposed an ambitious Rs 16,634 crore plan for rejuvenation, beautification, and riverfront development, encompassing sewage treatment plants, three check-dams, and 14 new bridges. 

Reddy emphasized installing sewage treatment plants and checking dams to address pollution. He stressed the importance of treated water flowing into the Musi and directed officials to maintain optimal water levels through these structures.
