Haripur: (RightNow) Tarbela Dam spillways were opened for the first time today at 11 AM. The aim is to control the flow of excess water.

The opening of the dam’s spillways increased the water flow from 220,000 cusecs to 230,000 cusecs. This rise is also causing an increase in the water level of the Indus River.

The Haripur district administration has taken safety measures following the spillways’ opening due to the rising water flow in the Indus River. The public is advised to exercise caution and avoid going near the river.

This action is significant for the public as it can impact the lives of those living along the Indus River banks. It is crucial to adhere to safety precautions.

It is noteworthy that Tarbela Dam is Pakistan’s largest dam and plays a vital role in meeting the country’s energy needs.
