Sirmaur (Himachal Pradesh): Heavy rainfall has lashed Himachal Pradesh's Sirmaur district for the past 36 hours, severely disrupting normal life and prompting authorities to open all 10 gates of the Giri Jaton Dam as a precautionary measure.
With the water level in the Giri River rising steadily due to incessant rain, officials released water from the dam and issued an alert for downstream areas, warning of the possibility of flooding and landslides. Residents living along the river have been advised to remain vigilant and avoid venturing near the riverbanks.
