RAMBAN: Authorities on Monday opened three gates of the Baglihar Dam in Ramban district after the water level in the Chenab River rose significantly due to incessant rainfall in the Doda-Kishtwar region.
The administration said it is continuously monitoring weather conditions and the river flow, with all concerned departments remaining on alert to respond to any emergency situation.
The development comes days after India reiterated that the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) with Pakistan will remain in abeyance until Islamabad credibly and irrevocably ends its support for cross-border terrorism.
