Gujarat: Sardar Sarovar Dam opens gates after heavy rainfall
Gujarat's Sardar Sarovar Dam has opened five gates after water levels jumped over 3 meters in just a day, now coming close to its maximum capacity.
The sudden rise is thanks to heavy inflows from Madhya Pradesh's Omkareshwar and Indirasagar dams, all fueled by intense monsoon rains.
