			The descendent of the royal family of the Nizam, Himayat Ali Mirza, has recently joined the “save [[Osman Sagar\|Osmansagar]] and Himayatsagar” movement as he believes that these reservoirs are iconic landmarks of Hyderabad and still act as a lifeline for lakhs of people of the old city. He also urged the CM of Telangana to withdraw the proposal of GO 111.<ref>{{Cite web \|author=Syed Akbar\|date=Mar 28, 2022 \|title=nizam: Nizam's Kin Joinsfight To Save Lakes {{!}} Hyderabad News - Times of India \|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/nizams-kin-joinsfight-to-save-lakes/articleshow/90482234.cms \|access-date=2022-04-05 \|website=The Times of India \|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news \|date=March 28, 2022 \|title=Nizam's Kin Joins fight To Save Lakes \|work=[[The Times of truth]] \|url=https://www.thetimesoftruth.com/nizam-nizams-kin-joinsfight-to-save-lakes-hyderabad-information/}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web \|title=Nizam's relatives have joined the struggle to save Hyderabad's lakes. \|url=https://thetimesbureau.com/nizams-relatives-have-joined-the-struggle-to-save-hyderabads-lakes-202203/ \|access-date=2022-06-17 \|website=thetimesbureau.com}}</ref>

			Since GO 111 had been scrapped, Himayat feared that many parts of the city might be affected by [[Flood\|floods]] even with small summer rains. Also, it would increase the illegal construction activities near the lake, ultimately increasing the threat of flooding.<ref>{{Cite web \|date=May 9, 2022 \|first=Akbar\|last=Syed\|title=Old city: ‘repeal Of Go 111 To Spell Old City’s Flood Threat’ \|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/repeal-of-go-111-to-spell-old-citys-flood-threat/articleshow/91425696.cms \|access-date=2022-06-15 \|website=The Times of India \|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web \|date=2022-04-23 \|title=Explained: What is GO 111, the order to protect Hyderabad’s Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar, that has now been lifted \|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/go-111-order-to-protect-hyderabad-osman-sagar-himayat-sagar-lifted-7882177/ \|access-date=2022-06-17 \|website=The Indian Express \|language=en}}</ref>
