While the sentiment is good, I hope this isn't just another political photo-op before elections. We need concrete action and transparency on the budget and timeline. The Musi river needs real revival, not just symbolic projects.

As a Hyderabadi, I'm very happy to hear this! The confluence area has been neglected for too long. Turning Bapu Ghat into a world-class centre is a dream project. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

Connecting a river rejuvenation project with Gandhi ji's legacy is smart. It gives the environmental effort a deeper cultural and spiritual meaning. Hope they maintain the sanctity of the place.
