The Hirakud Dam has closed 4 gates and is currently releasing water through 8 gates. This development is being closely monitored by authorities.
In a significant development, the Hirakud Dam has adjusted its water release mechanism. Currently, 8 gates of the dam are open, releasing water into the downstream areas. This change in the dam's operations is crucial for maintaining the water level and preventing any potential flooding in the surrounding regions. The decision to close 4 gates and release water through the remaining 8 gates is part of the dam's water management strategy.
