Jammu & Kashmir News | Heavy Rain Forces Opening Of Salal Dam Gates In Reasi
Continuous heavy rainfall across Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district and the upper catchment areas of the Chenab River has led authorities to open multiple gates of the Salal Dam to manage the rising water inflow. The controlled release of water has significantly increased the flow of the Chenab River downstream, prompting authorities to closely monitor the situation. The decision to open the dam gates comes as persistent rainfall has caused water levels in the reservoir to rise steadily. Officials are regulating the discharge to ensure the structural safety of the dam while reducing the risk of excessive pressure from the accumulating inflows.
