BBMB opens all floodgates on trial as water level in Bhakra dam rises
Though the Himachal police have issued an alert to people living downstream of Bhakra Dam after the floodgates of the dam were opened on Sunday, the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) authorities have allayed any cause of concern.
The BBMB authorities on Sunday opened up four floodgates of Bhakra Dam by two feet. The authorities said that the floodgates have been opened as inflows in dam remained high and there were projections of more rains in the coming days.
