Hirakud Dam Opens 4 Gates

The Hirakud Dam, a major dam located in Odisha, has opened four of its gates to release excess water into the Mahanadi river. This decision was made after the reservoir level rose significantly. The dam's water level is being closely monitored to ensure that it does not exceed its capacity. By opening the gates, the authorities aim to maintain a stable water level in the dam and prevent any potential flooding in the surrounding areas.
