Ten districts in Odisha are on high alert due to ongoing water discharge from the Hirakud Dam, affecting hundreds of thousands and damaging infrastructure.
In response to heavy rainfall and increasing inflows in Odisha’s Mahanadi basin, two more gates of the Hirakud Dam were opened. Officials assure that the flood situation at Mundali is stable and secure.
The floodgates of Hirakud Dam were opened today, marking the release of the first floodwater for the season, as officials prepare for the monsoon.
