Sambalpur: The Hirakud Dam authorities have opened two more sluice gates of the reservoir to release floodwater. A total of six gates have been opened so far to handle the situation. The water level has reached an alarming level in the reservoir following incessant rainfall in the upper catchments of the Mahanadi River. Although the water level stood below the danger level, the decision was taken to open some sluice gates taking the incessant rain situation into consideration. Worth mentioning, Hirakud dam authorities on Saturday afternoon released flood water through four sluice gates due to heavy rainfall upstream of the reservoir.
