A large number of people visited tyhe Daman Ganga river banks to watch the turbulent flow of water in the river. The government has thus issued an alert in the area to avoid any accident. Also, police personnels have been deployed in the area for any emergency, if it arises.
The water level is Madhuban dam in Silvassa is already 74.65 metres, which is way above the danger level. As a result, 2.35 lakh cusecs of water has been released into the Damn Ganga river.
If the rainfall continues for long, more water might be released into it, making the situation worse.
