Jalandhar, Sept. 5 -- With the two dams over the Sutlej and Beas-Bhakra and Pong-brimming, the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) ramped up discharges, spelling more trouble for the Doaba region. While the Sutlej river is brimming at danger level, the flow in the Beas came down, lowering the water level in affected areas of Kapurthala's Sultanpur Lodhi by 1.5 ft. The water flow in the Beas river dropped by 74,000 cusecs on Thursday from a record high of 2.35 lakh cusecs on Monday. But the relief from Beas might be short-lived as the BBMB released 99,963 cusecs from the Pong reservoir which is carrying water 4 feet above the danger mark of 1,390ft. Similarly, the Board has increased the outflows to 85,000 cusecs from the Bhakra reservoir into the Sutlej. At Pong, the inflow was recorded at 1.14 cusecs at 4pm . The Pong reservoir water level in Pong stood at 1394.68 feet on Thursday. At Bhakra, the water level touched 1679.05 feet, just a foot short of the danger mark of 1680 feet. A senior BBMB official, pleading anonymity, said that as the rainfall has receded for a few days, it's the best time to regulate the water level. "Another spell for three days from September 6 is expected to bring heavy rainfall," he added. Kapurthala DC Amit Kumar Panchal said, "We are constantly monitoring the situation related to the release of water from Pong dam." Meanwhile, the situation remained critical with the Sutlej river flowing at the danger mark. Rupnagar DC Varjeet Singh Walia urged people residing in low-lying areas in several villages of Nangal and Anandpur Sahib to move to safer places or go to relief camps. The water flow in the Sutlej was recorded 1.83 lakh cusecs at 5am at Gidderpindi railway bridge. It lowered to 1.65 lakh cusecs at 5pm. "All the vulnerable points on the dhussi bundh are monitored," Jalandhar DC Himanshu Aggarwal said. AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal visited flood-affected areas of Sultanpur Lodhi on Thursday. CM Bhagwant Mann who is suffering from viral fever couldn't accompany Kejriwal during the visit. Kejriwal assured all assistance to affected families....
