To
The Chief Justice of High Court at Hyderabad
On the southern banks of Moosi nadi,
Hyderabad
Dear Chief Justice,
Additional representation in WP(PIL) 32/2020 for restoration of Moosi Nadi is enclosed for justice for Moosi Nadi which is life line of Hyderabad.
I am very depressed that Moosi River development corporation, government of telangana is laying roads inside the moosi nadi in the names of walking tracks and beautification and development. All these works are being done even without a DPR nor any outcome of any scientific expert or people’s meeting.
I may please be taken on board as a stake holder for restoration of moosi nadi as a people’s project, so that I bring scientific, environmental, economic and sustainable restoration of moosi nadi through participatory consultation process of governance.
Not a single WALTA meeting nor any ward meeting nor any scientific expertise meeting has been held and MoosiNnadi seems to have become a playground for contracts and experimentation.
Thanks.

ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATION IN WP(PIL) 32 OF 2020 ON MOOSI NADI VIOLATIONS BY THE RESPONDENTS SUBMITTED ON 1OFEB2021
A. PERVERTED WAY WITH CLAIM OF MEASURE OF PROTECTING OF MOOSI NADI, MOOSI CORPORATIO IS GOING AHEAD WITH LAYING ROADS INSIDE RIVER BED
The Chairman of Musi River Development Corporation is recorded at the below link from right inside the Moosi Nadi walk way encroachment of the state government. How can Moosi Nadi be protected by dumping tons of land inside the river bed and further calling it walkway?
He says that this is temporary measure and after obtaining Detailed Project Report roads will be laid on either sides inside Moosi Nadi.
Facebook video link dated 1 February 2021.
He claims that Hyderabad traffic will be decongested by laying roads inside Moosi Nadi.
He claims that there is no record or document on river boundary or bufffer zone boundary hence they are doing Samagra survey.
FRESH LAND DEPOSITS IN THE NAME OF WALKING TRACK INSIDE THE MOOSI NADI
HUGE SILT DEPOSITS INSIDE MOOSI NADI RIVER BED
Appeal :
1. Evict all the land dumping and road laying that has been done and Stop any further road laying and land dumping inside Moosi Nadi as it is against law to create roads inside Moosi Nadi.
It is appalling that even without DPR road laying inside moosi nadi river bed is being considered as ‘beauification and development’.
It was only the Moosi Nadi that saved the city from the October 2020 floods. River boundary is fixed by our ex-ruler the Nizam in stone and aesthetic boundaries. The Chairman tells that there are no records or documents regarding boundary and buffer zone.
50ms is the buffer zone for Moosi Nadi in municipal limits as per law. Telangana government in 2017 has reduced the buffer limits of moosi nadi from 100ms to 50 ms outside municipal limits. The Court should please call for how much land of buffer zone was thus released and what has been done with that land that should be in government data base as government land.
2. Petitioner in this case is also petitioner for clean hussain sagar in NGT Chennai in OA 85 of 2015. Only a clean hussain sagar that drains out its catchment area of around 287 sq kms, can ensure clean Moosi Nadi.
Petitioner herein, is also petitioner for eviction of 10 acre encroachment right inside the Hussain Sagar in WP(PIL) 26/2020 at High Court, Hyderabad.
Hence, petitioner appeals for a very comprehensive, environmental , scientific solution of pollution-free Moosi Nadi and encroachment-free Moosi Nadi.
3. It is against rules to proliferate the sewage and industrial waters and try to handle it in a centralized manner . It is not sustainable. Hence waste, solid or liquid, to be treated in a decentralized ward wise manner and treated water to be re-used. Energy guzzling STPs are not sustainable solution as it is centralized and highly capital intensive and not being effective given the track record of the STP functionality across GHMC.
4. Further a third party audit of finances and expert independent study of the patta survey is imperative. Chairman of moosi development corporation has been telling in the interview that most of Moosi Nadi area is patta land, which needs to be closely examined as all these lands would be paid for in the name of acquisition or given TDRs.
5. Petitioner appeals to be taken on board to offer socio-economic, environmental, sustainable and scientific alternatives for a clean and naturalized Moosi Nadi .
