Cloudburst damages the Malana-I hydroelectric project dam for the second time

A cloudburst on 1 August 2025 severely damaged the dam of the Malana-I hydroelectric project in the Parbati valley, The Tribune reported, a year after flash floods had damaged the dam in August 2024. Machinery used in the repair work, including a hydra crane, a dumper and a rock breaker, was swept away in the Malana nullah; no lives were lost at the dam site. The footbridge between Malana and Pohal villages was washed away.
