Shimla: Water can be released from Pandoh Dam in Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh at any time. The water level of the dam is rapidly rising towards the danger level. In view of this, it has been decided to release water from the dam.
The Mandi district administration has issued an advisory to tourists including local people not to go to the river bank, because these days tourists coming to visit the mountains from Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi and other states park their vehicles on the roadside and enter the river.
Some tourists start bathing while some start taking photos in the middle of the river. In such a situation, due to the release of water from the dam, taking photos and entering the river can be fatal. Such accidents have been happening often. A similar accident occurred last week as well.
SDM Mandi Sadar Omkant Thakur has advised not to go near the banks of Beas as well as Suketi Khad, so that any kind of loss of life and property can be avoided.
Water level rising due to melting of glaciers
Due to melting of glaciers on the higher mountains of Himachal these days, the water level in the rivers is rising rapidly. Glaciers are melting rapidly due to extreme rise in temperature. Due to this, the water level of those rivers whose water source is glaciers is rising daily.
