Punjab on High Alert: Dam Levels Rise After Heavy Rains
Punjab has activated 23 district control rooms to closely monitor sensitive areas. This proactive measure follows heavy rainfall causing a rise in water levels at several dams across the state.
While authorities maintain that current dam levels remain within safe parameters, the steady increase necessitates heightened vigilance. Deputy Commissioners in all affected districts are on high alert.
Junior engineers are overseeing operations in each control room, ensuring round-the-clock monitoring and swift response to any potential emergencies. The state government is closely tracking the situation.
This preparedness underscores the importance of proactive disaster management in the face of increasingly unpredictable weather patterns. The timely establishment of these control rooms demonstrates Punjab’s commitment to safeguarding its citizens from potential flood risks. The coming days will be crucial in observing the rainfall trends and their impact on the dam levels.
