J-K: Chenab river swells after heavy rains; Salal, Baglihar dam gates opened
Authorities have opened several spillway gates at the Salal Dam and Baglihar Dam in Jammu and Kashmir due to a continuous rise in water levels of the Chenab River, following heavy rainfall in the region. Officials have issued advisories urging locals to stay away from the riverbanks and follow all safety instructions. The gates were opened to safely discharge excess water and prevent any possible flooding downstream.
