HYDERABAD: A couple of decades after then Chief Minister N.T. Rama Rao took up measures to improve Tank Bund and its surroundings, municipal administration and urban development minister K.T. Rama Rao has embarked on a major beautification programme on the 2.2-km stretch of arterial road.
Under his leadership, the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) has laid flamed granite stones on the footpaths at an estimated cost of Rs14.5 crore. This apart, the municipal authority set up specially-designed cast iron railing, grills, and aligned designer lamp posts resembling heritage lighting to enhance its aesthetic look.
