Technical issues at the Pachna dam in Karauli have been resolved after an overnight repair effort, leading to the release of water for irrigation through canals.
The Pachna dam in Rajasthan's Karauli district has resumed its water supply function after a technical fault was rectified overnight. Efforts to fix the issue concluded early Monday morning.
Following the successful repair, the dam's gates, which had been closed for 20 years, were opened at 4:50 AM. This action has allowed water to flow into the canals, making it available for irrigation purposes.
The release of water is expected to benefit local agricultural activities that rely on the dam's supply.
