Malana Hydro Power Project Phase-II in Manikarn Valley of Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh is under threat. The dam gates of this project have been closed due to silt, due to which the water in the dam has overflowed and all the water is now flowing over the dam.

Due to water flowing over the dam, there is a risk of its breaking. The water is being released by breaching the bank of the embankment, the danger of its breaking due to water coming out of the embankments has increased because the banks of the embankment have raw soil.

Many houses were evacuated in the lower areas of the dam.

The Kullu district administration has issued an alert to the residential areas in view of the possibility of a dam burst and in view of the danger, the district administration has evacuated the residential areas living on the banks of the river from Dam to Bhuntar, to avoid loss of life.


Danger of closing the gate

DC Kullu Ashutosh Garg said that water has overflowed due to gate blocking of Malana Hydro Power Stage-II Dam. He said that he has spoken to the company management. He says that he is not able to operate it due to the gate being closed.

The water of the Malana river will come into the Bhuntar and meet the Beas. In such a situation, if the dam breaks, the water level of Beas river will also increase. However the water volume in the dam is 30 cusecs. In such a case, there is nothing to worry about.

The Power Project Authority has been instructed to operate the gate soon, so that there is no loss of life or property.

Malana Dam-2 is built on a high hill

Malana-2 dam side is built in high hill. Due to this, people have many houses and lands on the Malana drain. The people of Malana have hundreds of bighas of fertile land on the banks of the gorge near the village Chowki. There are hundreds of residential areas along the Beas River from Jhari to Bhuntar Bajoura and Pandoh Dam. An alert has been issued in such a case.
