Summary:
As the civic body cleared different plots, it began work by sinking pillars into the rock. As it intensified, water began to swirl around the Himaja Apartment at Gudimalkapur where Satyam works as a watchman. “They resorted to cut-and-fill technique to flatten the land without bothering about the natural gradient,” says Ravi Kawre, an urban planner who visited the site to understand the urban flooding.

How sustainable is this kind of construction on the environment is a big question,” says Anant Maringanti of Hyderabad Urban Labs..
