Mahanadi River level rises after Gangrel Dam releases water in Chhattisgarh

The Gangrel Dam in Chhattisgarh has released water into the Mahanadi River, leading to a noticeable rise in the river's water level.
Officials from the state water resources department confirmed that the controlled release was undertaken to manage reservoir capacity ahead of the monsoon season.
The increase in water level has been observed along several points of the Mahanadi, prompting local authorities to issue advisories for communities living near the banks.
Monitoring teams have been deployed to track the flow and ensure that the rise does not threaten nearby settlements or agricultural lands.
