The New York-based World Monuments Fund (WMF) has announced that several historic buildings along the Musi river, such as the Telangana high court, State Central Library, British Library, and Osman General Hospital, have been included in the World Monuments Watch 2025.

• The Musi river corridor in Hyderabad, which is rich in history, is currently facing significant challenges due to pollution. 
• However, the WMF has highlighted that as the city embarks on its revitalisation efforts, heritage conservation can provide a sense of continuity and deliver multiple community benefits. 
• Among the 25 sites listed on the Watch from 29 countries, two are located in India, including these Musi river-adjacent buildings. 
• The WMF received over 200 nominations worldwide for consideration.
