Watch Meetho Sakshi: Ground Report on Saroornagar Lake, Gaddiannaram Division

Here is the first episode of the 'Meetho Sakshi' program, which sheds light on the pressing issues faced by the people. The episode, which aired this week on Sakshi TV, focused on the problems surrounding Saroor Nagar Lake in the Gaddiannaram Division, highlighting the struggles of the residents in these areas. The program allows people to voice their day-to-day concerns, drawing the attention of officials to the citizens' problems.

According to locals, Saroor Nagar Lake has been gradually encroached upon over the years, leading to floods whenever it rains. What's even worse is that rainwater mixes with drainage, making the situation even more dire. During the rainy season, locals are at risk of various diseases due to this issue.

Local resident Ramireddy says that lake pollution is a major concern, even causing cancer among people living nearby. He blames the authorities for not completing the promised lake cleanup. According to him, officials claimed that a fund of Rs 16 crores was sanctioned for the cleaning of Saroor Nagar Lake, but there has been no progress so far.

The president of New Gaddiannaram Colony reports that knee-deep waterlogging occurs during heavy rains. He demands concerned authorities to provide a permanent solution to this. The nearby areas experience waterlogging, causing significant inconvenience and even posing a danger to lives.

Another local resident mentions that the foul smell and mosquitoes are prevalent, leading to frequent outbreaks of viral fevers like dengue among the residents.

A resident has made serious allegations regarding the encroachment of Saroor Nagar Lake. He claims that the lake, which originally spanned 135 acres, has now been reduced to just 30 acres over the years due to encroachments carried out with the support of several leaders.

Meetho Sakshi garnered a huge reception from the public. Watch the full episode here:
