The Rajasthan Water Resources Department opened four additional gates at Kalisindh Dam in Jhalawar, releasing about 59,630 cubic feet per second, with the reservoir now at 314.76 metres, roughly 64% full.
The Kalisindh Dam in Jhalawar, Rajasthan, has seen a steady rise in inflow, prompting the state Water Resources Department to open four more spillway gates. With six gates now operating, the dam is discharging roughly 59,630 cubic feet per second of water downstream.
According to officials, the reservoir level has reached 314.76 metres, which translates to about 64 percent of its total storage capacity. The controlled release is intended to manage the rising water level and mitigate the risk of overtopping.
Local authorities have issued alerts for downstream areas, urging residents to stay vigilant and avoid low‑lying zones that could be affected by the increased flow. The department continues to monitor the situation and will adjust gate operations as needed to ensure safety.
