Tungabhadra Dam Malfunction Releases 80,000 Cusecs, Flood Alert on Krishna River
Aug 12, 2024, 06:58 AM
A malfunction at the Tungabhadra Dam in Karnataka has led to a significant release of water, causing a flood alert in the region. The chain-link of the dam's 19th crest gate broke, resulting in the release of approximately 80,000 cusecs of water. This situation has prompted authorities to issue warnings along the Krishna River in both Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. The Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister, DK Shivakumar, stated that two contractor firms have been approached to repair the damaged gate. The Tungabhadra Dam is vital for local agriculture, benefiting farmers across three states. The recent heavy rains have exacerbated the situation, impacting low-lying areas and parts of Bengaluru.
