Residents in Reasi district have been put on high alert as the water levels in the Chenab River surged dramatically. In response to the swelling currents, authorities have opened four floodgates at the Salal Hydroelectric Power Station to safely discharge the excess water. The local administration has strictly advised villagers living along the riverbanks to refrain from venturing near the water and to move livestock to higher grounds.
Emergency response teams remain stationed in vulnerable areas, carefully monitoring the water flow. This proactive water management strategy aims to prevent downstream flooding and ensure the absolute safety of nearby communities.
