==History==

Mallepally was built by fifth [[Asaf Jahi dynasty|Asafjahi]] ruler – [[Afzal-ud-Daulah|Afzal Ud Daula]] next to the Afzal Sagar tank which was one of the largest tank. Many people from Mallepally emigrated from India to the western countries. In the early 19th century, Malay people used to stay at this place and that's how the area got its name.

In the early 20th century, Hyderabad faced much flooding by the [[Musi River (India)|Musi River]] and subsequently led to a plague which reduced the population. Nizam [[Mir Osman Ali Khan|Osman Ali Khan Asaf Jah VII]], who had just come to occupy the throne, conferred with his ministers and city planners to come up with comprehensive plans to improve sanitation and hygiene of the city.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Hyderabad : a biography|author=Luther, Narendra|isbn=9780198090274|oclc=963760325}}</ref>
