India opens one gate at Baglihar Dam, built on the Chenab River in Ramban, to regulate rising water levels

India on Sunday opened one gate at the Baglihar Hydroelectric Power Project Dam, built on the Chenab River in Ramban.

This development followed the opening of two gates of the dam on Saturday, as reported by ToI citing sources. The gates were kept open between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm. The region had experienced heavy rainfall on Friday, prompting the need to regulate the water flow.

Previously, Centre had opened two gates at the Ramban-based dam—just days after having shut them—to manage water discharge to Pakistan.
