GHMC starts cleaning Katora Houz

The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) started cleaning Katora Houz by using GCBs.  The centuries-old pond is located at Golconda.

The Principal Secretary Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) Arvind Kumar informed the cleaning of the 16th century historic Katora House situated at a distance of 1 km from Golconda Fort through his tweet which says,   “Katora Houz  cleaning begins.. Floating trash collection (FTC) wasn’t possible because of lack of depth and we are doing it with



JCBs.”

The over growth of wild bushes and the trash dumped by the locals lead to water stagnation of this pond.

Many representations were made to GHMC for the cleaning of this historical pond which used to supply drinking water during the Qutub Shahi reign in 16th century. 

Currently, the pond is filled with dirty water covered with weeds.

A foul smell emanates from the water which once was famed for its crystal clear water.
