Hyderabad, where one-third of the country’s drugs are manufactured, is unfortunately being referred to as the “city with the most polluted lakes”, thanks to the pharma industry.
Over 300 bulk drug units in and around the city limits are violating the safe discharge norms of effluents. Topping the list of highly polluted lakes are the Kazipally lake and the Jellelavagu lake in Medak district.
