Mandi Mir Alam is a lake in Hyderabad, India, located adjacent to Nehru Zoological Park on the Hyderabad-Bangalore Highway. It has provided drinking water to Hyderabad people for 125 years before the Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar were built.
Mir Alam laid the foundation for the tank on July 20, 1804, as a plaque still lying in a corner shows. It was completed in about two years on June 8, 1806.
It was named after Mir Alam Bahadur (Syed Abdul Khasim), the then Prime Minister (1804 - 1808) of Hyderabad state during the reign of Mir Akbar Ali Khan Sikander Jah Asif Jah III, the third Nizam of Hyderabad state.
Mir Alam was among those who led the Nizam's forces in the battle against Tipu Sultan. It was from the share of the treasure he got from Srirangapatnam that he built the tank.
AP Tourism operates boats on the lake, for which one has to enter through the zoo.
