Kullu administration alerts people downstream as water flows over the jammed Malana-II barrage

The Kullu district administration alerted people living downstream of the Malana hydroelectric project after reservoir water began flowing over the Malana-II barrage, The Tribune reported. Deputy Commissioner Ashutosh Garg said the barrage's floodgates had jammed because of silt or some other reason, and that the reservoir could be breached in a cloudburst or a heavy inflow of floodwater. He said the Malana-I barrage was empty and posed no major threat.
