The Meteorological Department warned that humidity will remain high today, while the Chenab River rose following a scheduled water release from Salal Dam in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Indian Meteorological Department issued a bulletin indicating that relative humidity will stay elevated across the region today, with temperatures expected to remain in the mid‑30s Celsius range. Residents have been advised to stay hydrated and limit outdoor activities during peak heat hours.
In parallel, the Jammu and Kashmir Power Development Corporation released a controlled volume of water from the Salal Dam on the Chenab River. The release, part of routine reservoir management, caused a measurable rise in river levels downstream, prompting alerts for low‑lying areas.
Authorities in the Chenab basin are monitoring the flow closely to ensure that the increased water level does not threaten settlements or agricultural fields. Local officials have urged communities near the riverbanks to remain vigilant and follow any safety instructions issued by the district administration.
