&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;TNM looks at five water bodies in Hyderabad &amp;mdash; Durgam Cheruvu, Gurram Cheruvu, Mir Alam Tank, Shah Hatim talab and the Ramanthapur Cheruvu and how they have shrunk over the years.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;This story is among several stories from TNM that will highlight the inundation, flooding and other consequences of heavy rains in Hyderabad. TNM hopes to draw attention to these issues, which have now become perennial in many areas of the city, by talking to experts, officials and more.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;From the distance thou didst appear&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;barricaded in rocky aloofness&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Timidly I crossed the rugged path&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;to find here all of a sudden&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;An open invitation in the sky&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;and friends embrace in the air&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In an unknown land the voice that&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;seemed ever known&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Revealed to me a shelter of loving intimacy&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;These were the words of Rabindranath Tagore, in his poem &amp;lsquo;Kohsar,&amp;rsquo; written during his visit to Hyderabad&amp;rsquo;s Banjara Hills in 1933, where the Durgam Cheruvu is located. Historians said that he was so fascinated by the natural beauty of the area, that if he didn&amp;#39;t have his Viswa Bharati to care for, he said he would have liked to settle down here. Until a few decades ago, Durgam Cheruvu was in a secluded and picturesque location, surrounded by green pastures and shielded by rocks that are said to date back to more than 2.5 billion years ago. As per the Telangana government&amp;rsquo;s own website, &amp;ldquo;the reason behind this intriguing name is indistinct, but old timers assert that for many years, the lake remained hidden as there were no roads to reach the place and it was well kept away from naked eye. (sic)&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Initially catering to the drinking water needs of the Qutb Shahi dynasty and residents of the Golconda fort, today, it is in the heart of Hyderabad&amp;rsquo;s IT sector and home to the city&amp;rsquo;s first ever hanging bridge. Satellite images from 1967 and now, accessed by TNM in collaboration with Raj Bhagat P and Aakash Malik of the World Resources Institute (India), of Durgam Cheruvu and four other lakes, show the extent of how many water bodies in Hyderabad have fallen prey to urbanisation and slowly decreased in size over the years. And the images are shocking, to say the least.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;From the distance thou didst appear&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;barricaded in rocky aloofness&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Timidly I crossed the rugged path&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;to find here all of a sudden&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;An open invitation in the sky&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;and friends embrace in the air&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In an unknown land the voice that&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;seemed ever known&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Revealed to me a shelter of loving intimacy&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;These were the words of Rabindranath Tagore, in his poem &amp;lsquo;Kohsar,&amp;rsquo; written during his visit to Hyderabad&amp;rsquo;s Banjara Hills in 1933, where the Durgam Cheruvu is located. Historians said that he was so fascinated by the natural beauty of the area, that if he didn&amp;#39;t have his Viswa Bharati to care for, he said he would have liked to settle down here. Until a few decades ago, Durgam Cheruvu was in a secluded and picturesque location, surrounded by green pastures and shielded by rocks that are said to date back to more than 2.5 billion years ago.

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Initially catering to the drinking water needs of the Qutb Shahi dynasty and residents of the Golconda fort, today, it is in the heart of Hyderabad&amp;rsquo;s IT sector and home to the city&amp;rsquo;s first ever hanging bridge. Satellite images from 1967 and now, accessed by TNM in collaboration with Raj Bhagat P and Aakash Malik of the World Resources Institute (India), of Durgam Cheruvu and four other lakes, show the extent of how many water bodies in Hyderabad have fallen prey to urbanisation and slowly decreased in size over the years.

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;TNM looks at five water bodies in Hyderabad &amp;mdash; Durgam Cheruvu, Gurram Cheruvu, Mir Alam Tank, Shah Hatim talab and the Ramanthapur Cheruvu and how they have shrunk over the years.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;This story is among several stories from TNM that will highlight the inundation, flooding and other consequences of heavy rains in Hyderabad. TNM hopes to draw attention to these issues, which have now become perennial in many areas of the city, by talking to experts, officials and more.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;From the distance thou didst appear&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;barricaded in rocky aloofness&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Timidly I crossed the rugged path&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;to find here all of a sudden&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;An open invitation in the sky&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;and friends embrace in the air&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In an unknown land the voice that&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;seemed ever known&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Revealed to me a shelter of loving intimacy&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;These were the words of Rabindranath Tagore, in his poem &amp;lsquo;Kohsar,&amp;rsquo; written during his visit to Hyderabad&amp;rsquo;s Banjara Hills in 1933, where the Durgam Cheruvu is located.

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;TNM looks at five water bodies in Hyderabad &amp;mdash; Durgam Cheruvu, Gurram Cheruvu, Mir Alam Tank, Shah Hatim talab and the Ramanthapur Cheruvu and how they have shrunk over the years.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;This story is among several stories from TNM that will highlight the inundation, flooding and other consequences of heavy rains in Hyderabad. TNM hopes to draw attention to these issues, which have now become perennial in many areas of the city, by talking to experts, officials and more.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;From the distance thou didst appear&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;barricaded in rocky aloofness&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Timidly I crossed the rugged path&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;to find here all of a sudden&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;An open invitation in the sky&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;and friends embrace in the air&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In an unknown land the voice that&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;seemed ever known&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Revealed to me a shelter of loving intimacy&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;These were the words of Rabindranath Tagore, in his poem &amp;lsquo;Kohsar,&amp;rsquo; written during his visit to Hyderabad&amp;rsquo;s Banjara Hills in 1933, where the Durgam Cheruvu is located. Historians said that he was so fascinated by the natural beauty of the area, that if he didn&amp;#39;t have his Viswa Bharati to care for, he said he would have liked to settle down here. Until a few decades ago, Durgam Cheruvu was in a secluded and picturesque location, surrounded by green pastures and shielded by rocks that are said to date back to more than 2.5 billion years ago. As per the Telangana government&amp;rsquo;s own website, &amp;ldquo;the reason behind this intriguing name is indistinct, but old timers assert that for many years, the lake remained hidden as there were no roads to reach the place and it was well kept away from naked eye. (sic)&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Initially catering to the drinking water needs of the Qutb Shahi dynasty and residents of the Golconda fort, today, it is in the heart of Hyderabad&amp;rsquo;s IT sector and home to the city&amp;rsquo;s first ever hanging bridge. Satellite images from 1967 and now, accessed by TNM in collaboration with Raj Bhagat P and Aakash Malik of the World Resources Institute (India), of Durgam Cheruvu and four other lakes, show the extent of how many water bodies in Hyderabad have fallen prey to urbanisation and slowly decreased in size over the years. And the images are shocking, to say the least.&lt;/p&gt;

Satellite images show how Hyderabad lakes have shrunk by upto 83% since 1967 -Nitin B

-TheNewsMinute.com TNM looks at five water bodies in Hyderabad — Durgam Cheruvu, Gurram Cheruvu, Mir Alam Tank, Shah Hatim talab and the Ramanthapur Cheruvu and how they have shrunk over the years. This story is among several stories from TNM that will highlight the inundation, flooding and other consequences of heavy rains in Hyderabad. TNM hopes to draw attention to these issues, which have now become perennial in many areas of the city, by talking to experts, officials and more. From the distance thou didst appear barricaded in rocky aloofness Timidly I crossed the rugged path to find here all of a sudden An open invitation in the sky and friends embrace in the air In an unknown land the voice that seemed ever known Revealed to me a shelter of loving intimacy’. These were the words of Rabindranath Tagore, in his poem ‘Kohsar,’ written during his visit to Hyderabad’s Banjara Hills in 1933, where the Durgam Cheruvu is located. Historians said that he was so fascinated by the natural beauty of the area, that if he didn't have his Viswa Bharati to care for, he said he would have liked to settle down here. Until a few decades ago, Durgam Cheruvu was in a secluded and picturesque location, surrounded by green pastures and shielded by rocks that are said to date back to more than 2.5 billion years ago. As per the Telangana government’s own website, “the reason behind this intriguing name is indistinct, but old timers assert that for many years, the lake remained hidden as there were no roads to reach the place and it was well kept away from naked eye. (sic)”  Initially catering to the drinking water needs of the Qutb Shahi dynasty and residents of the Golconda fort, today, it is in the heart of Hyderabad’s IT sector and home to the city’s first ever hanging bridge.
