Garbage, silt, and debris that had gathered inside the stepwell as well as the vegetation that had grown around the structure, over the years were removed.

Urban Development special chief secretary Arvind Kumar on Wednesday tweeted: “Yet another #Stepwell restored bt @HMDA_Gov at Choutuppal, Lingojigudem Before & after pics – it’s such a good feeling every time @KTRTRS” (sic).
