Kullu, May 22: A big negligence of NHPC (National Hydroelectric Power Corporation Limited) has come to light in the Manikaran valley of Kullu in Himachal Pradesh. Water was released from the NHPC project dam in Barsheni without any information and without sounding the hooter. Due to this, two people sitting on the riverbank were swept away in the strong current. The body of one has been recovered, while the search for the other is still on.
According to the information, five tourists were sitting on the riverbank. Suddenly, the water level in the Parvati River increased. Five tourists were caught in it. Out of these, three people were rescued safely. The dead tourist has not been identified yet. Rescue teams are searching for the other missing tourist.
This incident is being reported today at around 1:45 pm. DC Kullu Torul S Ravish said that as per the information received so far, water was released from the dam without any prior information and without sounding the hooter. He said that tourists were also sitting on the river bank. He has appealed to the tourists coming to Kullu-Manali from all over the country not to go to the riverbank.
DC had instructed the dam management to be cautious
Let us tell you that on Wednesday itself, DC Kullu Torul S Ravish had a meeting with the dam management. In this, necessary guidelines were given to everyone regarding releasing water from the dam, because in summer, the water level in the rivers suddenly increases due to the melting of glaciers.
Tourists from all over the country come down to take photographs on the riverbank. This leads to accidents. In view of this, DC Kullu had asked to give information and blow the hooter before releasing water. Despite this, water has been released without any information.
