The Hirakud Dam has opened 10 additional gates for water release. This move is aimed at managing the water level in the dam.
The Hirakud Dam, a major dam in Odisha, has opened 10 more gates to release excess water. This decision was taken to maintain the water level in the dam and prevent any potential flooding in the surrounding areas. The dam's water level has been rising due to recent rainfall, prompting the authorities to take this step. With the opening of these additional gates, the water level in the dam is expected to decrease, reducing the risk of flooding in the nearby regions.
