Punjab on High Alert: Dam Levels Rise After Heavy Rains
Punjab has activated 23 district control rooms to closely monitor vulnerable areas. This proactive measure follows recent heavy rainfall, causing a steady increase in water levels at several major dams across the state.
While authorities maintain that current dam levels remain within safe parameters, the rising water necessitates vigilant monitoring. The situation is being closely overseen by Deputy Commissioners in each district.
Junior engineers are stationed at each control room, providing round-the-clock surveillance and reporting. This ensures a rapid response to any potential emergency situation.
The state government’s swift action underscores the importance of preparedness during the monsoon season. The timely establishment of these control rooms highlights a proactive approach to disaster management, crucial given Punjab’s vulnerability to flooding. The ongoing monitoring will be vital in ensuring the safety and security of citizens in the coming weeks.
