Sonepur, Odisha, July 10 (UDN): The water level of the Mahanadi River has started rising in Odisha’s Sonepur district following the release of the season’s first floodwater from the Hirakud Dam.
The release of water from the dam has increased the river flow downstream, prompting local authorities to closely monitor water levels and assess the situation in vulnerable areas along the riverbanks.
Officials are keeping a watch on the impact of the rising water level and have advised residents in low-lying areas to remain alert and follow safety instructions issued by local administrations.
The Hirakud Dam authorities and district administration are continuing to monitor the river conditions, with further action to be taken depending on rainfall patterns and inflow levels into the reservoir.
Authorities have urged people living near the river to stay updated on official advisories and avoid unnecessary movement in affected areas as the water flow remains under observation.
