WRD to Install Concrete Cubes in Khandepar Ravines to Shield Opa Barrage

WRD officials announced that concrete cubes will be installed in the Khandepar ravines to safeguard the Opa barrage from erosion. The move comes after several incidents where water flow had damaged the barrage’s embankments. The concrete blocks will be positioned along the ravine walls and are expected to be completed by the end of the fiscal year. The department said the intervention will reduce maintenance costs and improve the barrage’s resilience to extreme weather.
