A shocking report revealed the fact that out of 810 dams 210 dams are overflowing due to heavy rain which is a serious issue. This heavy rainfall did not even leave the area of Punjab and made its presence on a large scale. Heavy rain in Punjab affected the area so much so that the Indian air force and Indian army had to take part in the rescue operation.

The Army, NDRF and Indian air force carried out rescue operations in parts of Haryana and Punjab due to the heavy rain which damaged hundreds of acres of crops and did put many lives at risk.

Chief minister Amrinder Singh reviewed the whole situation and declared it a natural calamity. This declaration was made after a meeting held after the chief minister’s visit to the affected areas. Reports said that about 1,000 people were made to leave their home and out of these 700 people were rescued from Rupnagar district of Punjab.

The officials reviewing the Bhakra Nangal Dam had to order to release the excess water of the dam through spillway gates after the dam crossed the danger mark or more appropriately said, its permissible limit of 1,680 feet on Monday.

This order of removing the excess water was given in order to bring the water level of the dam in control. The water level is supposed to come to the mark of 1,680 feet in 3-4 days as said by an official of Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB).
