Orathuppalayam Dam

The Noyyal Orathuppalayam Dam and Reservoir, also called Orathuppalayam Dam, is located on the Noyyal River between Chennimalai and Kangayam in Tirupur District, Tamil Nadu, South India. The dam is situated 16 km (9.9 mi) north of Kangayam and 26 km (16 mi) east of Tirupur. The dam was built in 1992. It has an ayacut of over 10,000 acres in Tirupur and Karur Districts. It was used by the farmers only for five years as it became a storage tank for textile effluents after that. The farmers, who depended on the dam and river for irrigation, stopped the farm activity in their land. Due to the sad conversion of Irrigation dam to Effluent tank, the people living down river in the Tirupur, Karur District are negatively affected. From 1992 the deterioration has started and caused migration. Ungampalayam in the K.Paramathi block, Karur district is one such example. Even the villages near the dam in Chennimalai, Uttukuli area are affected. Kodumanal, famous archaeological site containing Roman coins, potteries and megalithic tombs is severely affected by effluent. The dam is a major concern for environmentalists because of its polluted waters.

Osman Sagar

Osman Sagar is a reservoir in the city of Hyderabad. The lake is around 46 km2, and the reservoir is around 29 km2, with total level of 545.592 metres and a capacity of 110,435.702 cubic metres. Osman Sagar is the largest lake in Hyderabad, in terms of total water spread area. It covers a significantly larger land area of 46 km2 and water storage capacity (around 110,435.702 cubic metres). History Osman Sagar was created by damming the Musi River in 1920, to provide an additional source of drinking water for Hyderabad and to protect the city after the Great Musi Flood of 1908. It was constructed during the reign of the last Nizam of Hyderabad State, Osman Ali Khan, hence the name. A princely guest house called Sagar Mahal, overlooking the lake and now a heritage building, was built as a summer resort of the last Nizam. Its location on the banks of the lake offers wonderful views. Telangana Tourism Department [1] operates a resort in the building. The breeze of the lake is very pleasant and has been popular with the locals since Nizam's time. When the Nizam consulted Sri Sir M.Visheswaraya regarding the twin problems of heavy floods in monsoon and acute shortage of water during summer, the latter designed a plan for construction of a Dam which needed high engineering skills in those days. This simple yet elegant solution solved both problems for Hyderabad. Tourist spot It is a popular tourist destination, especially in monsoon season when the reservoir is full. Its parks, resorts, and amusement park are a major attraction. This lake had served drinking water to Hyderabad city but, due to increase in population, is not sufficient to meet the city's water supply demand. Himayat Ali Mirza, great-grandson of Nizam VII has recently joined the “save Osmansagar and Himayatsagar” campaign for saving the twin reservoirs and has also urged the Telangana CM to scrap the orders of GO 111. Himayat said that now that the government had withdrawn the GO 111, the floods might affect various parts of the city. Scrapping of GO 111 has led to increasing the construction and concretisation activities near the lakes, ultimately resulting in consequent flooding. Water levels In June 2012, the water level at Osman Sagar was 1769.8 feet. On 1 October 2012, the level was 540 metres, an increase of a mere 60 centimetres. Similarly, in nearby Himayat Sagar, the water level in June 2012 was 531.35 metres and on 1 October 2012, it was 532.6 metres, an increase of about 120 centimetres. In October 2011, the water levels at Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar were 543.1 metres and 535.19 metres, respectively.

The present hospital building was completed in 1919 on orders of the last Nizam of Hyderabad, Mir Osman Ali Khan. It was designed by British architect Vincent Jerome Esch and Nawab Khan Bahadur Mirza Akbar Baig in Indo-Sarcenic style. In 1926, the wards of the Afzal Gunj hospital were transferred to the new building. It was the tallest building in Hyderabad until 1987, when it was surpassed by the Babukhan Estate. Dr. Yusuf Mirza, the hospital's first resident medical officer (RMO). One of the doctors who started along with the RMO Dr. K Gopal Rao. Names of these doctors are still there at the General Ward entrance. In 2015, the Chief Minister of Telangana, K. Chandrashekhar Rao announced a plan to demolish the building. Following outrage among heritage activists, he immediately retracted the statement. Himayat Ali Mirza, the great-grandson of Mir Osman Ali Khan, joined hands to improve the building's condition, with the INTACH (Indian National Trust for Arts and Cultural Heritage). He believes minor renovations could improve the hospital building to restore the Osmania General Hospital. Facilities The hospital has more than a thousand beds. New Building The new building of Osmania General Hospital to be located at Goshamahal in 26 acres of land, and foundation stone was laid by Chief Minister A.Revanth Reddy along with Health Minister Damodar Raja Narasimha on 31 January 2025. It will be built on a 32 lakh square feet built up area and will have 2,000 beds. This new hospital will replace the aging Osmania General Hospital, which has been in operation since 1910 and is struggling with outdated infrastructure. Despite concerns over the relocation of the hospital and its potential impact on local heritage, the government is moving forward with the plan to modernize healthcare facilities in Hyderabad. However, the proposed relocation of the hospital has faced significant opposition from local residents and heritage activists. Concerns raised include the potential environmental impact of the new facility and the loss of a community space. Additionally, there are fears about the potential loss of the heritage value of the original Osmania General Hospital building. Legal challenges to the relocation have been filed, and the Telangana High Court issued notices regarding the proposed move in 2024.
