Chhatarpur, Madhya Pradesh - In response to heavy rains, eight gates at the Bansujara Dam were opened on Friday night to release excess water into the Dhasan River. The dam sits on the border of Chhatarpur and Tikamgarh districts. The release of around 792 cubic meters of water per second is expected to elevate the river level by seven to nine feet downstream. This is a rare occurrence.
The Water Resources Department made the decision at 8 pm after monitoring the dam's approach to its prescribed water limit due to increased inflow. All eight gates, 0.75 meters in height, were opened. Authorities have urged residents along riverbanks and in potentially affected areas to remain alert. More gates may be opened if rainfall persists.
