The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) will open six Urban Forest Parks to the public on Thursday as part of its environmental conservation efforts in Hyderabad.
The six parks include Nagaram Forest Park, Pallegadda Forest Park, Sirigiripuram Forest Park in Maheshwaram Mandal, Srinagar Forest Park in Thukkuguda Municipality, Manyamkancha Forest Park in Kandukur, and Tumaloor Forest Park in Maheswaram are among the urban forest parks that will open.

HMDA is transforming urban forest blocks in and around cities and towns into Urban Forest Parks, which will not only provide the necessary lung space for the cities and towns but will also contribute to the growth of smart, clean, green, sustainable, and healthy cities in the State.
