Authorities have opened the gates of the Salal Dam, located on the Chenab River in Reasi district, Jammu & Kashmir, following a significant rise in water levels triggered by heavy rainfall in the region.
The move comes as a precautionary measure to manage the increased inflow of water and to prevent any potential flooding downstream. Local residents and people living in low-lying areas along the Chenab have been advised to remain alert and avoid venturing near the riverbanks.
The Salal Dam, an important hydroelectric project, plays a critical role in managing river flow and generating electricity in the region. Officials are closely monitoring the situation and have assured that necessary safety protocols are in place.
