  "summary": "Bhopal's Upper Lake has reached its Full Tank Level after heavy rains, leading to the opening of the Bhadbhada Dam gate on Krishna Janmashtami. Around 20 mm of rainfall was recorded in the area on Friday, prompting the opening of Gate No. 6 at 6 pm. This marks the fourth time in 23 years that the dam gates have been opened in September, following events in 2003, 2023, and 2025. The meteorological department predicts continued heavy rainfall and thunderstorms across various districts in Madhya Pradesh and adjoining states, with isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall expected due to a low-pressure area over the region.",
