The Forum for Good Governance has formally requested Telangana's Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy to focus on cleaning and restoring the Musi River before advancing with construction projects, including temples and statues. In a letter dated April 2, the organization expressed its appreciation for the government's intentions to rejuvenate the river but criticized the decision to undertake construction without resolving existing pollution issues. They highlighted recent developments such as the laying of the foundation stone for a temple in Manchirevula on March 29 and plans for a 108-foot statue of Lord Shiva in the river.
