Hyderabad’s Musi riverfront set to become a tourist hub

In a bid to boost tourism, Telangana’s Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has announced plans to develop Musi riverfront in an interesting tourist hub in Hyderabad. The historical buildings along the Musi River will soon transform into a tourist center. The plans were announced during an event by the CM.

Reddy has also called on industrialists to be a part of this activity and preserve these heritage sites, which reflect the city's cultural glory. He also said that the state government is committed to promote tourism alongside its welfare initiatives.
One of the prime and ambitious projects that the CM mentioned was Musi Riverfront development under which the region and buildings along the Musi will be restored. These are basically forgotten heritage structures which now the government plans to restore. In fact, the government has already started the restoration of many prominent historical sites. These buildings have remained neglected for a long time and now the government is giving them all the attention.

Restoration work

As of now, the restoration work of the old assembly building is underway. It is also part of the project. The plans are now to shift the Legislative Council to these freshly renovated buildings in the coming days.

The old Osmania General Hospital is another prominent building in the region which is being restored. This landmark of the city is on the priority list. Besides, a new hospital is also being constructed at the Goshamahal stadium to improve the healthcare infrastructure and heritage conservation.

Help from industrialists

The government is seeking participation from industrialists. There are several corporations that have come forward to take the responsibility of restoring ancient stepwells in Hyderabad. These will be soon transformed into prime tourist spots.


Among the major industrialists, Infosys has promised to take care of the Mahalaka stepwell at Osmania University. Sai Life Sciences will focus on the Manchirevula stepwell while Bharat Biotech will restore the Salar Jung and Ammapalli wells.
