  "account": "Morena in Madhya Pradesh witnessed the Pagara Dam releasing six auto-tilting gates on Friday night as heavy rains pushed the water level above the Full Tank Level. A significant amount of water, approximately 48,831 cubic feet per second, was released from the dam since 11.10 pm. As of 6 am on September 5, the water level at Pagara Dam stood at 200.55 metres, exceeding its Full Tank Level of 199.33 metres. The dam's live storage was recorded at 144.372 million cubic metres, or around 5,101.50 million cubic feet, indicating it is operating at 119.82% of its capacity. The continuous rain and steady inflow of water have led to the gates being opened to reduce pressure on the reservoir. Water Resources Department officials are closely monitoring the situation, and further decisions on the gates will depend on ongoing rainfall and water inflow. Authorities have advised residents in low-lying areas to remain cautious due to rising water levels in dams and rivers.",
