Attempts to encroach the Fathullaguda lake have gained pace thanks to the burgeoning metropolis with its amoeba-like spread in all directions.
Though existing before the full tank level (FTL) was marked for the lake by the HMDA authorities in 2014, the encroachments had been limited in their extent till recently.
Brazen attempts to compromise the FTL could be seen now, just a few metres away from the location where GHMC’s drain works are in progress.
