SRINAGAR: Due to continuous rains, the water level of Dal Lake as measured at Dal Lock Gate was found to have risen to 10 ft, above 5 inches from the normal level. Although the all the escape gates were open but it was felt that the rise in water level may endanger the vegetable crop within the Dal Lake. The Vice Chairman, Tufail Matto himself visited all the exit gates on 18th April, 2020 early in the morning and passed on-spot instructions for opening of all the gates wherever the level of Dal was found to be higher than Jehlum.
Accordingly, all the exist gates at Gow Kadal, Brari Numbal and Nallah Amir Khan have been completely opened. However, the Ram Munshi Bagh gate couldn’t be opened as the water level at Jehlum was found to be higher than the Tsunti Khul water level.
By opening these gates, the water has started receding. The Dal dwellers have appreciated the efforts of Lakes and Waterways Development Authority for this endeavor and have thanked the Vice Chairman, LDA for his personal intervention in the matter.
