Lake claims ‘part ownership’ of homes
The Hindu
Hanuman Nagar Colony is besieged by water whenever it rains heavily
Several residents of Hanuman Nagar Colony in Tatti Annaram within the limits of Pedda Amberpet Municipality cannot live in their homes for about six to eight months every year.
They will have to hand over their premises to neighbouring Oora Cheruvu/Annaram Cheruvu — a lake which enters their homes uninvited. “There are about 10 to 12 houses where one cannot live during and after heavy rains. They are part of 25 to 30 houses which are badly affected by floods to the Oora Cheruvu,” said Kushal Deshmukh, a resident of the colony.
Quite a few dwellings, which lie empty now, have continued to be besieged by water from last year’s devastating rains during October. CC roads are submerged in water while sign boards indicating ‘Hanuman Nagar’ stand out. Several owners have rented out their homes, but tenants do not stay here very long. Residents recall that a boy of eight years drowned in the lake during recent rains.
